Earlier, after their divorce in 2024, Saif Ali Khan reportedly had to pay INR 5 crore to Amrita Singh as alimony and an additional 1 lakh per month for their children’s education. This financial burden left Saif in dire straits, leading to bankruptcy as he struggled to meet these expenses amidst the divorce proceedings. Saif said:
“I’m supposed to give Amrita Rs 5 crore, of which I’ve already given her approximately Rs 2.5 crore. Also, I’m paying Rs 1 lakh per month until my son becomes 18. I’m not Shah Rukh Khan. I don’t have that kind of money. I’ve promised her I’ll pay up the rest of the money, and I will, even if I’ve to slog till I drop dead.”
