Deepak Tijori says Amrita Singh discouraged Saif Ali Khan from backing his debut film. Pehla Nasha calls it a shocking incident

Deepak Tijori, who is promoting his upcoming film ‘Tipppsy’, recently reminisced about an incident involving actor Amrita Singh, who was married to Saif Ali Khan at the time. He talked about how he was shocked by that.

He had sought support from his celebrity friends for a cameo role in his debut film as the lead actor, ‘Pehla Nasha’. Although actors like Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan had pledged their help, Amrita Singh discouraged Saif from supporting Tijori’s film. He said, “There was a moment when I was really surprised. Shah Rukh (Khan), Saif (Ali Khan) and Aamir (Aamir), who were coming. So Saif was getting ready at home, this is his version, when When he was getting ready at home, Dingy (Amrita Singh), his then wife, asked him, “Where are you going?”

He continued, “So she said, ‘Really? How can you do this? We’ve never done any of this stuff. Who’s doing this? Are you going to support someone on the premiere shoot?'” Deepak said this incident shocked him because in the 1990s, “people would go everywhere to support everyone” in the fraternity and this hasn’t happened for a while now. He said: “But again it’s broken, haven’t seen that happen for a while now.

Tijori is known for his roles in films like ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander’, ‘Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa’ and ‘Badshah’. Ashutosh Gowariker directed ‘Pehla Nasha’, which marked Tijori’s debut as a lead actor.
