Sheeba Akashdeep and Saif Ali Khan were once neighbours. At that point in time, Saif was married to Amrita Singh. They used to be very good friends as they had also shared screen space together in a film called ‘Surakshaa’. However, Sheeba’s friendship with Saif and Amrita broke because of an incident. In a recent interview, the actress recalled that she was heartbroken because Saif-Amrita’s dog killed her dog.
She revealed in a chat with Pinkvilla, “Toh hua yeh ki hum dost the, hum neighbours bhi the, same bungalow complex mein rehte the and issi doraan hua yeh ki unke dog ne mere dog ko maar diya galti se. (So, what happened was that we were friends; we were also neighbors, living in the same bungalow complex. And during this time, his dog accidentally killed my dog).”
They stopped talking after that as Sheeba was heartbroken. She added, “Toh uss din ke baad meri baat-cheet band hogayi. Mera itna dil tut gaya and you are also very volatile at that time. A couple of times after that, when he met, he told my husband, ‘kya wo kabhi forgive nahi karegi kya?’” (After that day, I completely stopped talking. My heart broke so much, and you are also very volatile at that time. A couple of times after that, when he met my husband, he asked, ‘Will she never forgive me?’).
The actress revealed that she immediately left that house and went to live elsewhere. “But uss time aesa dil tut gaya tha ki mein wo ghar bhi bech ke nikal gayi uss complex se immediately. Overnight I walked off. I said I can’t live here anymore. Wo mera favorite dog tha. So that’s kind of we lost touch. (But at that time, my heart was so shattered that I sold the house and left the complex immediately. Overnight, I walked off. I said I can’t live here anymore. He was my favorite dog. So that’s kind of how we lost touch).”
Sheeba was last seen in ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ and ‘Jigra’ alongside Alia Bhatt, Vedang Raina.
