In an exclusive interview with Showtime magazine (which hits the stands today), Rosa Catalano, Saif Ali Khan’s ex-girlfriend makes some shocking disclosures about her relationship and break-up.
Until now, Rosa has kept her silence. But in the interview, Rosa gives a heartbreaking account of her relationship that went sour.
According to Rosa, it was a chance meeting that started it all. “We met on a show when he was in Kenya and love just happened to us.” She then drops a shocking revelation. She claims that when they met, Saif hadn’t told her that he was a married man. “Well, slowly, I got to know many things. I had no idea he was married when I met him. And when I came to India, he was living somewhere else and was divorced. It was strange to know that he was married with kids but the children are amazing. God bless them.”
After living together for quite some time, the relationship fell apart. And Rosa is still wondering what went wrong. “I still don’t know. It was a kind of a mutual break-up but I honestly still don’t know. It’s not that difficult to deal with it now because I am happy and he looks happy too.” She later adds, “I got burnt. It is a wound, which has still not healed.”
But she still hasn’t got over the pain. “I went back to Switzerland because when we decided to part ways, it wasn’t easy for me at all. In fact, I am still carrying it with me. They were the three important years of my life and there were two children I loved madly.”
There’s also a tinge of regret when she says, “I asked myself what, why and how things happened. But a person grows and realises things even though they are shocking. Plus, you don’t know what other people are thinking or doing. Just one person can’t do that because the effort has to be from both the sides. It takes two people to actually make something work. Otherwise it’s like being on the same boat where one person wants to go right and the other person wants to go left.”
Ask her if Kareena’s entry was the cause of the split and she says, “Not that I know of, but I don’t think that was the reason. We parted ways much before that,” she tells the magazine.
Even though Saif has now moved on, Rosa still misses Saif’s kids, with whom she had forged a close bond. “Since the time Saif and I have not been together, I have dreamt about the kids most of the nights. I had a really good time with them. I don’t even get to see them now even though we are in Mumbai and that’s very strange but I am in touch with Sara (Saif’s daughter) on SMS once in a while.”
She also denies the allegation that Saif is paying her alimony. “Saif is not supporting me financially,” she says. “The one reason why I kept staying in India was because I used to work as and when projects used to come so that I was able to pay my bills and pay my rent. And no one ever, I repeat, no one ever has paid my bills in India.”
The interview, which runs eight pages, has Rosa talking about the break-up that’s given her so much pain. She’s planning to stay back in India and is looking forward to her journey in showbiz. She was also recently seen in the television show, Yeh Hai Jalwa.
