In 2012, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan exchanged vows, celebrating their union in an intimate wedding ceremony held in Mumbai. The couple joyfully welcomed their first son, Taimur Ali Khan, in 2016, followed by the arrival of their second son, Jeh Ali Khan, in 2021. Notably, Saif and Kareena chose to marry after five years of live in relationship, a decision Kareena recently discussed in an interview, shedding light on their choice to formalize their relationship.
In a conversation with Dirty Magazine, Kareena said, “The reason you get married now is that you want to have a child, right? I mean today otherwise you can just live together. [Saif and I] lived together for five years, so when we took the next step, it was because we wanted to have children.”
She added, “We treat them as individuals, we respect them, and we just let them be. They will figure it out, they will find their own path. Kids are quite resilient, you know. I want to live my life in front of my kids, I want to do everything with them. We have to be happy na, then they will flourish. I’m responsible for my own mental health first.”
The actress further stated, “I’m very attached to my family, my kids, my husband, my five friends. That’s it. That’s my life. I need my people. My spot boy has been with me from my first shot. People who come into my world, I don’t let them go and they don’t leave. That’s why I’m not at every single party. I don’t feel the need to be doing that. Being at parties, making friends, socialising. I don’t want to.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kareena Kapoor is currently gearing up for the release of ‘The Buckingham Murders’ directed by Hansal Mehta, which had its recent premiere at the BFI London Film Festival, receiving enthusiastic acclaim from attending celebrities. Additionally, she is set to star in ‘The Crew’ alongside Tabu, Diljit Dosanjh, and Kriti Sanon.
