Wedding bells may not be that far away for actors Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor as the two are contemplating marriage sooner than the three-four-year target they had set earlier.\u201cOh yes, much sooner. In fact, people may be hearing an announcement from us very soon. If I had my way, I\u2019d marry her today right here in London where she\u2019s joined me,\u201d Saif said over phone.
\u201cYes, I\u2019m ready to make it legal any time. In any case, aren\u2019t we supposed to have gone through a secret Muslim marriage?\u201d he says sarcastically about certain media reports.
Saif was married to Amrita Singh and after 13 years of marriage and two children, the couple separated in 2004. After he divorced Amrita, he dated Italian model Rosa Catalano, but broke up with her in 2007.
The romance between Saif and Kareena took off on the sets of \u2018Tashan\u2019. And Saif has never sounded so fiercely committed.
\u201cIf I\u2019m sounding that way, it\u2019s because that\u2019s how I feel. With due respects to all the other relationships in life, after my marriage to Amrita and my two kids, this is the most important relationship I\u2019ve had.\u201d
Saif can barely contain his anxiety and eagerness to do the right thing.
\u201cOf course, I\u2019m anxious. You must understand this is the most important part of my life… so much so that at times I find even my career taking a backseat to my relationship. I\u2019ve to guard against that. I must quickly learn to separate the professional from the personal.\u201d
Saif admits it would take his children Sarah and Ibrahim a while to get used to the changes in their dad\u2019s life.
\u201cI\u2019m not going to pretend that my children, Kareena and I have become one big family. They\u2019re intelligent kids with a mind of their own. Sarah is in fact 13 and a lady herself. It would be quite a while before they are fully comfortable with the change in my life.
\u201cThey haven\u2019t spent that much time with Kareena to know her as well as I do. But the good thing is everyone close to me realises that this relationship is for keeps, that I\u2019ve never been more serious. Now it\u2019s entirely up to me and Kareena to take the relationship to the next level.\u201d
Saif is upset with reports that he has lately been crowding his ladylove with his attentions.
\u201cOf course, I want to be with her as much as I can. My regret is we can\u2019t be together more often. We are uncannily similar people and I\u2019ve only now begun to understand why I need to be with her constantly. She complements me, as I hope I complement her. So of course, I try to be where she is.\u201d
He dislikes people intruding into his personal life and says: \u201cI understand people want to put our relationship under a microscope. They want to know about our relationship. But there\u2019s only so much that they can know or perceive. What Kareena and I feel for each other, only the two of us know.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
