Though Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan make one of the best couples of Bollywood, her decision initially wasn’t taken too kindly by her sister Karisma Kapoor and her mother Babita Shivdasani.
In a report by Pinkvilla, giving credits to She Walks She Leads, Lolo was quoted as saying, “It was for me too, to some extent. Our family is slightly conservative but then we accepted that this was Bebo: all heart and all sentiment. Besides, she has this incredible ability to always know what is right for her. She is led by emotion and instinct but, touch wood, her decisions have always proved to be positive and wise.”
Years back, Saifeena’s dating news indeed came as a surprise to many fans. The couple started seeing each other since October 2007 and it was in October 2009 when the Chote Nawab made their relationship public. Finally, on October 16, 2012 they tied knot and began a new chapter of life.
Amidst the flashbulbs, media frenzy and immense curiosity of fans, Kareena Kapoor Khan is gearing to have her first child this December. But if reports in a popular daily are to go by, Bebo could well have the baby in London!
According to close friends of Saif and Kareena, the couple’s plan is to slip out of the city and go somewhere far away from prying eyes. A source close to the family shared, “The paparazzi is clicking close-ups of her baby bump. There are too many prying eyes here in Mumbai, making her feel odd rather than special.”
So much so, that recently Kareena even lost her cool while speaking on the subject. “I’m pregnant, not a corpse. And what maternity break? It’s the most normal thing on earth to produce a child. It is high time the media backed off. Stop treating me any different from what I ever was. Anybody who is bothered shouldn’t work with me? but my work goes on as is, like always. Stop making it a national casualty.”
London, according to close sources, is where the Pataudi family spends its maximum time when away from India. Saif and his sister Soha Ali Khan have both spent their formative years there. Their mother Sharmila Tagore too has fond feelings for the city as her husband, the late Nawab Pataudi loved spending time there. “Sharmilaji herself spends a lot of her time in London and has advised Kareena and Saif that London could be a less stressful option for them to welcome their first child,” the source added. Above all, even by Saif-Kareena’s admission, London is their fav holiday destination. And before the news of the baby surfaced, the couple was in the city only, enjoying a long vacation.
Yesterday, her best pals Malaika Arora Khan and Amrita Arora and her sister Karisma Kapoor were spotted outside her home. Here is a look.
