He says, "I'm holding up fine. I want to spend as much time as possible with my children while I'm on this enforced vacation. By doctor's orders, I'm off work for this month. I'll start going to the gym early next month and resume work by the middle of April. I can't pretend that Rosa's going hasn't added to recent setbacks. But it's for the best, I guess."
Rosa spoke from her homeland about the parting, saying, "I don't want to talk about the split. Certainly, I am disturbed. Wouldn't anybody be?"
Despite her living in with Saif for the past few years, the chote Nawab's family wasn't ready to give Rosa the status that probably the couple longed for. Saif's mother and Censor Board chief Sharmila Tagore had earlier stated, "She is a nice girl but Saif hasn't spoken to us about marrying her so far. He should be doubly careful about not rushing into anything that he may regret later. He should learn from his past experiences."
Now, Sharmila totally approves of the decision. "I will certainly support my son. But at this point my priority is his health, his children and his career. Other than that, Saif and Rosa know what's best for them," she says.
Meanwhile, the reason for the Saif-Rosa split isn't known, but rumours are that his growing friendship with Amrita
Singh during his recent illness could be one. The ex-married couple found themselves comfy in each other’s company all over again last month. Amrita Singh has been so worried and concerned about his recent chest pain attack that she visited him frequently at the hospital. In fact, she has been answering phone calls on the hotline. But it could also be that Rosa's increasing ambition resulted in an ego clash between the two.
Whatever was the reason; this ends one more seemingly strong relationship in the entertainment industry. According to close friends, Saif is far more hurt by the split than he's willing to admit. "But things were getting sticky between them. And the split was for the best for both of them," says a close buddy.
