When Saif Ali Khan entered Bollywood in 1993 as a 23-year-old, his claim to fame was being veteran actress Sharmila Tagore and legendary cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's son. It didn't help matters that his debut film Parampara failed to ignite the screens despite the presence of Aamir Khan along with stalwarts Vinod Khanna and Sunil Dutt, and despite being directed by Yash Chopra. To make matters worse, when he tried going solo as a hero in his second release with Umesh Mehra's Aashik Aawara, the outcome was a disaster. The audience wrote him off as a misfit in Bollywood, who could neither act nor fight nor dance on screen.
The turning point came when he took to comedy, after as many as four releases failed to have any impact for him. His fifth release, the 1994 rom-com Yeh Dillagi co-starring Akshay Kumar and Kajol, wasn't exactly a blockbuster, but people noticed his innate sense of timing. A few months later the same year when he reunited with Akshay for the action-comedy Main Khiladi Tu Anari, the audience was finally talking of his charming screen presence.
