A website says Saif Ali Khan’s father Tiger Pataudi was not quite a gentleman in one aspect, that is when it came to calling quits with the woman he once dated. When he met Simi Garewal, he knew she was the woman for him. The actress was often spotted at the cricket stadium cheering for her man. However, Tiger had found his love in Sharmila Tagore. She was the one he wanted to marry. One evening, Tiger visited Simi at her house.
He refused the lemonade she offered and said, “I’m sorry but I want to make it clear it is over between us; I’ve met someone else.” Simi offered him more lemonade. He refused, and added that she didn’t have to see him off at the elevator. Simi didn’t back down and went out. This was when she saw Sharmila on the steps near the elevator. The two women kept on looking at each other in silence. The elevator had finally arrived. Years later Simi interviewed Sharmila and there was no bad blood.
