Bollywood’s power couple Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan tied the knot in October 2012 after a 5-year long courtship and sharing screen space in several films like ‘LOC Kargil’, ‘Omkara’, and ‘Agent Vinod’.
As per a report in TOI, Kareena reminisced the time she and Saif worked together for Vishal Bharadwaj’s film ‘Omkara’, and how they didn’t interact much on the sets except exchanging formal pleasantries.
She said, “(Saif) is from a different generation. I’ve known him, I have been hanging around on sets when Lolo and Saif were shooting in ‘Hum Saath Saath Hai’ in Jodhpur. Then we did ‘Omkara’ where we didn’t speak and we were with our respective girlfriend and boyfriend at that time and we hardly interacted or even exchanged a word. It was always like ‘Good morning.’ He used to always be like ‘Good morning ma’am,’ and, you know, treat me with so much respect. I was like okay because he is anyway so chivalrous.”
“Saif has got a personality any woman would want. I was the one who kind of pushed all the right buttons. Saif actually was the kind of guy who will never, is not very forthcoming towards any woman. He will never make the first move. He’s too English and restrained in that way,” she continued.
“And plus, he was, when I made the first move, he was like ‘I can’t believe that Kareena Kapoor is doing this.’ He was like ‘Why?’ For me, it was (gasps). He was like I didn’t know. It was like entire building had crumbled on his head. So I don’t know what he meant by that, whether he thought he was very lucky or what. But well, eventually, it all worked out and I think I was responsible for it,” she concluded.
