News Mania Desk/Agnibeena Ghosh/20th July 2024
In a recent conversation with The Week, Kareena Kapoor opened up about the complexities of her marriage to actor Saif Ali Khan, shedding light on the unique challenges faced by couples in the entertainment industry. Kareena candidly shared that their relationship is often tested by the demands of their respective careers, which sometimes leaves them living parallel lives.
Kareena described the difficulties of being married to a fellow actor, noting how their schedules often clash. She mentioned that there are times when Saif is still asleep when she leaves for work, highlighting the strain this puts on their family life. Despite their efforts to spend quality time together and focus on their children, balancing two high-profile careers remains a significant challenge. “It’s very tough (being married to an actor),” Kareena admitted, reflecting on the struggles of managing their dual-career household.
The actress acknowledged that marriage has positively influenced her personal growth, describing how Saif helps ground her when she feels overwhelmed. She emphasized the mutual respect and support they share, saying that she frequently seeks Saif’s advice and vice versa. However, Kareena also revealed a playful frustration, noting that Saif has yet to see her latest film, Crew. “I have to see all his films…so in that sense, yeah, he’s taken me for granted this time,” she quipped.
Their domestic life, while filled with love, is not without its light-hearted disputes. Kareena shared an amusing anecdote about their disagreements over air conditioning settings. Saif prefers the AC at a chilly 16 degrees Celsius, while Kareena prefers a more moderate 20 degrees. Their compromise usually settles at 19 degrees, a point of contention that has even led to some humorous exchanges with Kareena’s sister, Karisma Kapoor. “Every time Karisma comes home and we are having dinner, Lolo slyly changes the temperature to 25,” Kareena laughed, adding that Saif often jokes about being grateful that she settles for 19 degrees.
On the professional front, Kareena Kapoor is gearing up for her return to the silver screen with the upcoming film The Buckingham Murders, directed by Hansal Mehta. Meanwhile, Saif Ali Khan is preparing for his Telugu debut in Devara, where he will star alongside Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor. Despite their busy schedules and occasional domestic squabbles, the couple continues to support each other’s careers and navigate the complexities of their high-profile lives together.
