Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan are often celebrated as one of Bollywood’s strongest and most admired couples, but behind the glamour lies a story of growth, insecurity, and trust. In a recent interview, Saif Ali Khan made rare and candid revelations about the early phase of his relationship with Kareena, admitting that dating one of the biggest stars in the industry was not easy at first.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, Saif shared that when he and Kareena started dating, the relationship was far from balanced. Kareena Kapoor was at the peak of her career, constantly working on films, surrounded by successful co-stars, fame, and intense public attention. For Saif, this was a completely new experience compared to his past relationships.
The actor openly admitted that feelings of jealousy and insecurity surfaced in the beginning. He said adjusting to Kareena’s professional life and seeing her work closely with other actors was difficult, especially since he himself was not “the easiest person” at that stage.
Saif also revealed that someone once advised him to think of the situation as if he were “dating a hero,” a line that stayed with him. He recalled how his perceived rivals often became friends, leaving him confused about how the industry dynamics worked.
Reflecting on that phase, Saif said it was a complicated time that demanded maturity, confidence, and patience. He emphasized that such emotions can only be managed through genuine commitment and trust, which develop gradually over time.
Talking about Kareena, Saif praised her not just as a powerful actress but as an extraordinary person in real life. He described her as creative, patient, loving, and emotionally strong, adding that she brings the same energy and warmth to her personal relationships as she does to her performances on screen.
Saif concluded by saying that insecurity in a new relationship can be challenging, especially when both partners have demanding careers. However, with time, love and trust became the foundation of their bond, helping them move beyond doubts and fears.
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor got married in 2012 and are parents to two sons, Taimur and Jehangir (Jeh). The couple believes in prioritizing family while fully supporting each other’s professional journeys.
