Koffee With Karan 8 EXCLUSIVE: Saif Ali Khan opens up about receiving support from Yash Chopra during challenging times; says, “He saved me”

In the recent episodes of Koffee With Karan 8, Karan Johar has been giving an insights into the lives of their favorite celebrities like Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Panday among others. And in the upcoming episode, Karan will be hosting Saif Ali Khan and his mother as well as yesteryear diva Sharmila Tagogre on the couch. While the candid mother had some interesting beans to spill about her son and his shenanigans as a youngster, the latter also opened up about the low phase in his career with Johar.

During the same, Saif Ali Khan revealed that Yash Chopra stood like a rock through his tough years and saved him and his career quite literally. Elaborating on it, Saif Ali Khan said, “So there were a couple of offers and kind of dried up, Rahul Rawail told me that, this is it. Nobody's going to work with you. And he was a bit sadistic, I must say, because he kind of enjoyed that. And I thought, okay, and they did dry up.”

He further recalled about how he bagged the multi-starrer 1993 film Parampara. “Yash Chopra ji called me over. He said, ‘I've heard you're very naughty, and you gotta give me your word’. At that time, he was casting Parampara with a lot of people in the movie.” “There was Aamir, Raveena, Neelam, Vinod Khanna,” quipped Karan. Agreeing to it, Saif Ali Khan added, “Sunil Dutt too and I knew that there was a huge multi-starrer. He wanted an actor for this role but he wasn't finding someone. So, he met me and asked, ‘You promise to be good?’. That was pretty much it. And I said, ‘Of course, I promise you I will be’. And he said, ‘Okay, you're in the movie’. Just like that, overnight, the office started. And you know how it is. If Yash Chopra is casting, then everyone comes. The same people who had said, "No, we're not interested, were very interested now. So he saved me.”
