Saif and Kareena’s Love Story
Rumors of Saif and Kareena’s relationship began when they were shooting for the film Tashan. They kept their relationship a secret. However, in 2007, Saif broke his silence and confessed his love for Kareena when they were seen together at an event in Mumbai. During Lakme Fashion Week, Saif revealed his relationship with Kareena when asked if he and Kareena were dating.

In an interview with Vogue India, Kareena said, “Saif was always so nice on set. I was very impressed by that. There was something different about him.”
Akshay Kumar’s Hilarious Warning
On the sets of Tashan, when Akshay Kumar noticed Kareena (Bebo) and Saif growing closer, he warned Saif. Kareena shared this funny anecdote with Twinkle Khanna on the Tweak India platform. Kareena explained, “Saif and Akshay were talking, and Akshay sensed something was going on between us. So he took Saif aside and said, ‘Listen, be careful. These girls are dangerous. This family is very cunning. I know them, so be careful.’”
The Tattoo Sealed the Relationship
As their love blossomed, they didn’t delay in announcing their relationship to the world. Saif and Kareena were seen holding hands at the premiere of Ranbir Kapoor’s debut film Saawariya in 2008. Saif’s signature gesture, when he got Kareena’s name inked on his wrist, confirmed their love.
