Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan is expecting her second child with Saif Ali Khan. But before the couple married in 2012, many people dissuaded her from marrying him. Saif was a divorcee, they said. She already had two children, Sara and Ibrahim Ali Khan, from her previous marriage to Amrita Singh. Saif and Kareena had already appeared in two films (LOC Kargil and Omkara) together before they fell in love while working on the 2008 film Tashan.
On Kareena’s birthday, here is a memory of when she spoke about the people who were judging her relationship and how the two of them finally proved them wrong. Kareena in an appearance on Koffee with Karan said, “I’m glad people are doing things now and talking more about their love. When I wanted to marry Saif, everyone said: ‘He has two children, he has been divorced. Are you sure you want to do this? ‘ They told me, ‘Your career will end.’ And I was like, ‘Is it such a big crime to be in love? Such a great crime to get married? Let’s do it, let’s see what happens. ‘
Kareena’s fellow guest, Priyanka Chopra, had chimed in: “Even the way she carried out her pregnancy was unheard of in India.”
Kareena talked about how Saif proposed to her twice before she was ready to say “yes” to marriage. In a Humans of Bombay post, she also talked about how she fell in love with him while making Tashan together. She said, “So just when I thought I was falling, Saif caught me. I’d met her before, but while we were filming Tashan, something changed. I wore my heart on my sleeve! He was so lovely; I fell in love with him hook, line and plumb bob. I remember while filming in Ladakh and Jaisalmer, we would go on long bike rides for some time alone. We’d enjoy the beauty, have great conversations, and just bond!
He had also addressed the age difference. “He is 10 years older than me and has 2 children. But for me, he was just Saif, he helped me heal and love myself. Maybe it was the fact that we are so different: he is more private and not ‘bollywoodized’, but I assimilated it. I learned to balance things and not let them affect me. We’d been dating for a while, when she said she wasn’t 25 and she couldn’t keep taking me home every night. Then he said to my mom: ‘I want to spend the rest of my life with her. We want to live together. ‘ My mom was fine. It’s so easy with him. Even when we decided to get married, it felt good. “
