The video offers a glimpse into the early days of their romance, showcasing the serendipitous moment that sparked their love story.

He continued, “Toh ek chhoti ladki baithi thi makeup room ke bahar, deewar pe akele baithi thi aise aur dekh rahi thi meri taraf (So a little girl was sitting outside the makeup room, sitting alone against the wall like this and looking at me)," showing how the then-little Kareena was staring at her.

Saif also shared how he developed feelings for Kareena from a tiny moment, which made the actress turn a deep shade of red.

“Maine pucha kisise ki yeh kaun hai? Toh unhone kaha ki yeh Kareena Kapoor hai, Karisma Kapoor ki choti behen. Mujhe laga ki bahut khoobsurat hai mere kheyal se. Aur woh tabse mujhe kaafi acchi lagi (I asked someone, who is this? Then the person said that she is Kareena Kapoor, the younger sister of Karisma Kapoor. I think she was very beautiful. And that is when I started liking her)," he elaborated.

Saif and Kareena's love story truly blossomed years later on the set of their 2008 film, "Tashan." From that point forward, they were inseparable, making public appearances together and never hiding their affection. After five years of courtship, they exchanged vows in 2012. Their family grew with the arrival of their two sons, Taimur in 2016 and Jehangir in 2021.

Saif's commitment to Kareena was evident when he got a tattoo of her name in Devanagari script on his arm, a gesture she considered a significant expression of love. Kareena has embraced Saif's past, including his marriage to Amrita Singh and his children, Sara and Ibrahim, a testament to their strong bond. Their social media posts often showcase this united family dynamic.
