Saif Kareena: No marriage now!
9 Feb 2008, 0000 hrs IST,TNN
Contrary to media reports yesterday, Bollywood's most happening couple the dashing Saif Ali Khan and ravishing Kareena Kapoor, are not as yet married.
No nikah ceremony was performed at his home in Bandra. The Chhote Nawab set the record right for BT. "Kareena and I will certainly be getting married, but not for the next three-four years at least. Right now we have our careers to look out for. I'm worried such rumours will affect Kareena's career. At this juncture the last thing she needs is to have people eagerly marrying her off. The fact is, yes, we are seriously involved, and the relationship will come to a logical conclusion like marriage. But when it does, we'll announce it properly."
Meanwhile, Kareena has not taken kindly to the reports on their alleged marriage. "What nonsense," she exclaimed yesterday, "there is no truth to it. We are not married and there's no immediate plan. I can't throw away my career, which is equally important, just like that."
There appears to be considerable tension in the Kapoor residence over the marriage rumours. Kareena's association with Saif was naturally not welcomed by the Kapoors in the beginning.
But now it looks like the family has no choice but to accept their daughter's love. "I asked Kareena about the rumours and she denied the marriage," said Papa Randhir Kapoor.
"We believe her. I haven't met Saif recently, but he is a nice gentleman, we have no problem with Kareena's choice. If she is happy, we are also happy. And the day she decides to get married, we will celebrate it in a big way like we did Karisma's wedding."
