Today, we will narrate the life story of a famous actress from the 80s who worked in many superhit films in her career. While this actress was popular for working with superstars like Jackie Shroff, Sunny Deol, and Vinod Khanna, she always grabbed more headlines for her turbulent personal life. 

We are talking about none other than Amrita Singh, who was born to Rukhsana Sultana and army officer Shivinder Singh Virk. Amrita Singh debuted with the 1983 film 'Betaab' opposite Sunny Deol. She was also in the news for her affair with Vinod Khanna, who she first met on the sets of JP Dutta's 'Batwara'. She fell in love with the actor at first sight.

From marrying a younger Muslim actor to changing religion to almost marrying a cricketer and then a superstar, Amrita Singh was often in the news for her turbulent personal life. In her career, Amrita Singh worked with almost every big star, but despite this, she has been living alone for the past 20 years.

Amrita Singh started her acting career at the age of just 16-17 years in the year 1983 with the film 'Betaab'. In the very first film of her career, the actress won the audience's hearts at such a young age that she became a star overnight. Amrita Singh had no interest in the film world but once superstar Dharmendra spotted her, he knew she would go on to be successful in showbiz.

When Amrita Singh met Vinod Khanna on the sets of a film, she was reportedly engaged to star India cricketer Ravi Shastri who had told her that Vinod Khanna was out of her league. After Amrita Singh parted ways with Ravi Shashtri and broke off their engagement, she began dating Vinod Khanna. 

Amrita Singh and Vinod Khanna had 12 years of age gap between them and Vinod Khanna was separated from his wife Geetanjali when he began dating Amrita Singh. Reports state that these two points were a dealbreaker for Amrita Singh's mother Rukhsana Sultana.

Amrita Singh's mother wanted a suitable Muslim boy for Amrita Singh. In 1991, after first meeting each other at a photo shoot, Amrita Singh tied the knot with Saif Ali Khan and converted to Islam. She gave up acting after her marriage. The couple has two children - Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan.  In 2004, Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh got divorced.

Today, Amrita Singh, despite being a yesteryear superstar, is not only away from acting but has also been spending her life alone, away from the limelight.
