Bollywood couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor have often spoken candidly about their relationship, and Saif’s latest interview offers another glimpse into the bond they have built over the years. In a recent conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, the actor reflected on how being with Kareena transformed his understanding of love, partnership and trust.
Saif admitted that dating Kareena came with its own set of challenges, especially in the early days. She was the first working actor he had been in a relationship with, and navigating her on-screen collaborations with other actors initially triggered feelings of jealousy and insecurity. He acknowledged that it took time, maturity and mutual belief to process those emotions and grow comfortable with the realities of their profession.
Looking back, Saif said that love ultimately helped him overcome those doubts. He revealed that he learned to put Kareena’s happiness above everything else, even if it meant applauding the success of someone he once considered a rival. For him, celebrating her achievements became more important than personal insecurities.
Beyond Kareena’s stardom, Saif spoke warmly about her role at home. He described her as a deeply patient and loving person who brings creativity not just to her performances but also to family life. Praising her as a mother, wife and partner, Saif said there are no expectations placed on women in his family, allowing Kareena to be herself.
Calling her “truly incredible,” Saif added that being with Kareena is unlike any relationship he has experienced before one built on admiration, trust and enduring love.
