Married for eight years now, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan have a picture-perfect family with their two sons completing it. In conversation with Humans of Bombay back in 2019, the Veere Di Wedding actress recalled the time when Saif Ali Khan had asked her mother Babita if he would live-in with Kareena while they were dating. Back then Bebo shared her mother being cool with it. The now-married couple, back then though had worked in movies such as LOC Kargil, Omkara, it was during Tashan when the cupid struck Kareena.
She said, "We'd been dating for a while, when he said he’s not 25 & can't keep dropping me home every night. So he told my mom, 'I want to spend the rest of my life with her. We want to live together.' My mom was cool with it. It’s so easy with him. Even when we decided to get married, it felt right." Though the two have a huge age gap, with Saif being married and divorced with two kids from marriage with Amrita Singh, Kareena shared nothing bothered her as he helped her heal and love herself.
Spilling being about her career, she mentioned though she began her career on a high note and things being good on her work front, there came a time when she was told to re-invent herself, that’s when Saif was a solid support for her.
Adding further she said, “It started out great–I did amazing films. But then for a year, I didn’t work. I felt like my career was over; I was told to ‘re-invent’, become size 0...So just when I thought I was falling, Saif caught me. I’d met him before, but while we were filming Tashan, something changed. I wore my heart on my sleeve! He was so charming; I fell for him hook, line & sinker...He’s 10 years older than me & has 2 kids. But for me, he was just Saif–he helped me heal & love myself.” ALSO READ: Mother’s Day 2021: Kareena Kapoor Khan Drops Pic With Mom Babita, Calls Her ‘The Rock of Gibraltar’; Sends Sweet Wishes To Mom-In-Law Sharmila Tagore
