Key Highlights :
Kareena Kapoor Khan recently featured on the cover of The Dirty Magazine, where she spoke about her family, her 20+ year career in the film industry, and why she and Saif Ali Khan decided to tie the knot after living together for five years.
Khan was previously married to Amrita Singh, with whom he has two children - Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan. In the interview, Kareena spoke about her children Taimur and Jeh, and her desire to live her life in front of them. She also revealed the reason why she and Saif decided to get married after living together for five years.
"The reason you get married now is that you want to have a child, right? I mean today otherwise you can just live together. We [and I] lived together for five years, so when we took the next step, it was because we wanted to have children," she said.
Kareena and Saif first met during the shoot of Tashan and fell in love. They tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in the presence of their family and close friends. The couple now have two sons – Taimur Ali Khan (born in 2016) and Jehangir Ali Khan (born in 2021).
When asked about her approach to parenting, the 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' star shared, "There is no right or wrong way'. "We treat them (the kids) 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," she added.
Kareena also spoke about being an emotional person, which many people don't get to see. "I'm very attached to my family, my kids, my husband (Saif Ali Khan), 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.”
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan's decision to get married after living together for five years is a testament to their strong bond and commitment to each other. The couple has been setting relationship goals for years and continues to do so even today.
