The confirmation came from Kareena Kapoor herself at the India Today Conclave 2012 in New Delhi. When asked when she plans to get married with Saif Ali Khan, Kareena did not evade the question and gave a frank reply: “Hopefully, by the end of this year.”
Kareena added that she is in no rush to get married and there are still some Bollywood commitments to fulfil.
“I am working on Heroine and I need to finish the film first. But we're not going to announce the date yet. I don't understand why the entire nation is in a hurry to make me the Begum of Pataudi. There's no rush. Obviously people have to be patient,” Kareena Kapoor said.
Since the start of 2012, there have been rumours about Kareena and Saif planning to wed by March end after the release of their film Agent Vinod. In fact, there have lately been rumours that Kareena Kapoor is already pregnant -- after she was spotted with a baby bump -- but it turned out that the bump was for her role in Heroine.
Kareena, 31, is presently in the prime of her career. She has worked with every male superstar in Bollywood. Last year she was seen in films with both Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan. This year, she’s looking forward to her film Talaash with Aamir Khan.
Saif, 41, is married once and divorced. He has two children from his previous marriage with actress Amrita Singh. Saif and Kareena began dating while shooting for their film Tashan (in 2007) which didn’t do well at box office. Lately, Kareena has been spotted at all the important family functions of Saif Ali Khan. She was there when Saif was made the 10th Nawab of Pataudi.
