Mumbai:
Anything for you, beta! Babita
The actress to switch homes; mom Babita tags along but will live separately, on same floor!
Kareena Kapoor will finally be moving into her new home this month. It's just a hop and skip away from where she stays on Hill Road (Bandra) presently. "I can't give up being close to my mom and living in Bandra," she says.
Bebo's new address is in a building called Queen, and it will also have a new apartment for her mother. "Of course, my mother is moving with me. I can't live, breathe or even take one step without her. The only difference is she'll now have a separate apartment. But we're still on the same floor."
Two-year wait
As for the home that Saif is preparing for the two of them, Kareena shrugs, "That won't be ready for another two years. That's how long it's going to be before we get married anyway. Right now my diary is filled up till 2010. There's no space for even a runaway marriage."
As far as conducting one's career goes, Kareena's role model is Aishwarya Rai. "I love the way she carries herself and the roles she's choosing after marriage. I'd like to follow that pattern when I get married."
But that's a long way off. For the moment, Kareena is just happy being with Saif. "He may appear to be very volatile and indecisive, just like me. But actually, he takes all the right decisions on my behalf. He's totally into his books while I love films. I keep him clued in to what's happening in the industry."
