After a five-year courtship, actors Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan finally tied the knot in October last year. While for many, marriage often resembles a life full of challenges and different perspectives, it seems that not much has changed for the green-eyed beauty. She hopes that just like their lives together, the Nawab of Pataudi also doesn’t change.


“Saif and I were in love and we decided to get married. For us everything is same. Things are going great (in married life). Saif is the same as before and hopefully, he will never change,” she said, reported the Hindustan Times.

“For media and people, it [marriage] seems like a big thing. But in real life, it is not like that. There have never been any restrictions. We are surprised when people ask what the difference is after marriage, we fail to understand this as there is no difference,” she added.

Being married is usually deemed as a responsible job, but Kareena feels that singlehood and married life have been more or less the same for her. “Since childhood, I was a responsible girl. I had the responsibility of my family... first of my mother, then my sister Karisma and now [I have] Saif’s responsibility. But he is pretty much on his own, he is a responsible person and quite mature,” emphasised the 32-year-old actor.

A strong believer in balance and equality, Kareena said, “Both [love and work] are equal for me. I have been balancing things. I am an actor who has been open about my relationships. There is nothing wrong in falling in love. I don’t know why people associate love with your career. I don’t understand why people ask this. Because love is like the way you breathe air... You love your mother but still you work. I love my mother, family and I still work.”

Does that say something about Chota Nawab or does that say something about the lovely Kareena ??..............we have this bad habit of reading too much into everything.

If it changed nothing, then it is of no significant value!
