Deepak Tijori recently shared an intriguing anecdote about a past incident involving Saif Ali Khan and his then-wife, actress Amrita Singh. The veteran Bollywood actor disclosed the incident during a recent interview while discussing the lack of support from Bollywood stars for their friends' projects.
Tijori revealed that during the making of his 1993 film 'Pehla Nasha,' directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, there was a scene where they wanted celebrity cameos for a premiere sequence. They had approached Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Saif Ali Khan for the roles of actors attending the premiere.
According to Tijori, Saif Ali Khan had agreed to be a part of the scene and was getting ready at home when Amrita Singh questioned him about his plans. Saif informed her that he was going to shoot for a cameo in Tijori's film, to which Amrita reportedly expressed disbelief and disapproval, questioning the necessity of such gestures. Despite her reaction, Saif went ahead and filmed the scene with Tijori and Aamir Khan.

Tijori reflected on the incident, highlighting how in the early 1990s, such acts of support weren't common among Bollywood stars. However, he noted that times have changed, and such gestures of solidarity are now even rarer in the industry.
On a different note, Deepak Tijori is gearing up for his upcoming project 'Tipppsy,' marking his return to the screen.
