Falling in love is one thing and keeping a relationship rock steady is a different story. Love is not just that butterfly feeling in the stomach, it is more about experiencing the hard days together and still feeling determined to see the next sunrise opposite to each other. And when we talk about this kind of love, a Bollywood couple that comes to mind is – Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Their magical journey from co-stars to soulmates has always been the talk of the B-town. It all started with them sharing the silver screen and it bloomed into a relationship that built a beautiful family. Over the years the duo has captured hearts with their chemistry, elegance, and unwavering support for each other. And here are a few highlights from their perfect fairytale.
The magic of the silver screen
The duo first worked together in ‘LOC Kargil’ (2003), then in ‘Omkara’ (2006), and two years later in ‘Tashan’ (2008). And it was during the filming of ‘Tashan’ (2008) that their love story truly began, that sparks flew. In an interview with Vogue India, Kareena admitted, “I was blown away by how chivalrous and warm Saif was on set. There was something so different about him.”
And as they say, love finds you against all odds, something similar happened with Saif and Kareena too. On the sets of ‘Tashan,’ when Akshay saw Bebo and Saif connecting, he actually warned the Pataudi Nawab not to mess with Kareena. The ‘Jab We Met’ star made this confession to Twinkle Khana on the Tweak India platform. She shared, “Saif and Akshay were talking and Akshay kind of got the vibe that Saif and me were like connecting. Akshay took Saif in the corner and he was like, ‘listen, tread carefully because they are dangerous girls, this is a dangerous family and I know them, so dekh ke rah (be careful)’.”
But there was some kismat connection that despite the warning these two fell for one another.
Their on-screen collaborations, including ‘Tashan,’ ‘Kurbaan’ (2009), and ‘Agent Vinod’ (2012), showcased their sizzling chemistry, even though the films had mixed responses. Kareena jokingly said on ‘Koffee with Karan,’ “Tashan may not have worked at the box office, but it was the biggest success of my personal life I got Saif!”
Saif echoed this sentiment in a Film Companion interview stating, “Working with Kareena was always special. We have this amazing comfort level, and that translated on-screen, even if the films didn’t always work.”
The wedding, the family, the ultimate milestone
The couple tied the knot in an intimate yet elegant ceremony on October 16, 2012, blending Saif’s Nawabi heritage with Bollywood grandeur. In an interview with Vogue India, Kareena said, “With Saif, there’s no pretension. We’re equals in every sense. That’s what makes our marriage work.”
Post-marriage, Kareena spoke to NDTV, saying, “Saif lets me be who I am. That’s the greatest gift in a partner.” Saif, too, expressed his admiration, stating in The Telegraph, “Kareena is my stability and my biggest cheerleader. She completes me.”
Saif and Kareena have two sons, Taimur and Jeh, who are adored by fans and media alike. Despite their busy schedules, they prioritize family time. Speaking to Hindustan Times, Saif said, “Family is everything to me. Kareena has been the anchor who holds us all together.”
Kareena, on the other hand, highlighted their mutual respect in an interview with Pinkvilla: “Saif is not just my husband but also my best friend. He understands me like no one else, and that’s what makes our bond so strong.”
From seeing grand gestures like Saif’s tattoo to their candid and random moments at public events, the couple’s love story continues to charm fans. Saif summed it up beautifully in an interview with Elle: “Being with Kareena is like finding a home. She’s the calm to my storm, the light of my life.”
Through ups and downs, Saif and Kareena’s love remains a shining example of partnership, proving that true love is built on trust, respect, and unshakable commitment.
