Kareena Kapoor reveals she tied the knot with Saif Ali Khan when it wasn’t fashionable for actresses to get married

Kareena Kapoor stated that she made the decision to get married at a time when it was uncommon for actresses to do so in order to focus on their careers. She emphasized that her decision was entirely her own. While it is now widely accepted for women to marry and continue working, it was not the case during her time, she added.

Kareena Kapoor made her acting debut in 2000 with the film “Refugee,” alongside Abhishek Bachchan. After almost 12 years, she got married to Saif Ali Khan in October 2012. Despite getting married, Kareena did not take a break from her work commitments. Soon after her wedding, she returned to the film industry and shot for one of her popular songs, “Fevicol Se,” for Salman Khan’s hit film franchise, “Dabangg 2.” Since then, she has continued to work in films without any breaks.

In an interview with ETimes, Kareena Kapoor was asked if she still gets affected by box office results. She responded by saying that box office collections will always be important, but she does not compete with anyone. She mentioned that she is content with her choices as she has always done what she wanted to do and has been fortunate to have the freedom to do so. Kareena also pointed out that when she got married, it was not a common practice among actresses. However, now many actresses are choosing to get married and continue working, which is great. She emphasized that she has always followed her heart and done what she loves and believes in.

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan welcomed their first child, Taimur, in 2016. Despite her pregnancy, Kareena continued to work and even walked the ramp for fashion shows. After Taimur’s birth, she took only a two-month break before returning to work. Similarly, after giving birth to their second child, Jeh, in February 2021, Kareena resumed work within a month.

In 2021, Kareena Kapoor featured in the Bollywood film “Laal Singh Chaddha,” which was directed by Advait Chauhan and starred Aamir Khan in the lead role. The film was an official Hindi remake of the Hollywood movie “Forrest Gump.” In addition to Kareena and Aamir, the film also featured Mona Singh in a prominent role. However, the movie received mixed reviews from the audience and critics.

According to reports, Kareena Kapoor has three upcoming projects that are generating buzz among her fans. The first is a web series titled “The Crew,” which is being produced by Karan Johar and will be streamed on Netflix. The second is a movie called “The Buckingham Murders,” directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by Ramesh Taurani. The third project is “The Devotion of Suspect X,” which is a Hindi adaptation of a Japanese novel by Keigo Higashino. The film is being directed by Sujoy Ghosh and produced by Balaji Telefilms.
