Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s love story is a tale of passion, patience, and trust. Though Kareena was present at Saif’s first wedding as a young girl, fate brought the two together years later, and they have now been married for 13 years, raising their two sons, Taimur and Jehangir.
In a candid conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, Saif opened up about the early challenges of their relationship. While deeply in love, he found it difficult to watch Kareena act in romantic roles opposite other male actors. Having previously dated women outside the film industry, Saif admitted, “In the beginning, I wasn’t very easy to deal with. Maybe I was a bit jealous and unsure of how to react to her working with other men. It was all new.”
He described the conflicting emotions that came with dating a prominent actress: “The one that struck me was that my rivals would be her allies, and I was like, ‘How do you work that?’ But love triumphs that.” Saif credited maturity, trust, and mutual understanding as the foundations that helped the couple navigate such insecurities.
Today, Saif looks back with adoration and gratitude, praising Kareena as an “incredible woman” who has built a warm and loving home for him and their children. Their journey from navigating on-screen jealousies to nurturing a stable family life stands as a testament to their enduring bond.
