'My parents adore Kareena' - Saif Ali Khan
Despite rumour mills suggesting that Bebo is feeling claustrophobic and smothered by Saifs' obsession with her, their relationship seems to be getting stronger by the day. Last week, while Kareena was visiting Saif on the sets of his first production unit in London, Kareena bonded big time with Saif's parents there.
Says a member of Saif's production unit, "Kareena looked after Saif's parents like her own. It was quite evident that her move was not a deliberate attempt to win over Saif's parents, or impress Saif. When she feels affectionate towards people, she gives unconditionally." Kareena is unarguably Saif's first lady-love whom his parents have taken to so wholeheartedly.
Our source from London adds, "Kareena has always been extremely affectionate and warm. So it did not come as a surprise that she bonded with Saif's parents well and they in turn reciprocated her warmth a gesture that they never showed with any of Saif's earlier companions."
When we contacted Saif who is in London, he said, "It's true that my parents met Kareena in London and they got along like a house on fire. My parents adore her irrespective of her achievements as an actress."
What Saif leaves unsaid is that his parents had disapproved of his earlier relationships.
"But they adore Kareena," he says a tad wistfully from London. "My dad thinks she's lovely. That makes two of us," he adds.
With sanctions from Saif's parents, all that the couple needs is an approval from Kareena's parents, a process that he has already initiated.
