Saif Ali Khan remembers early days of dating Kareena Kapoor Khan: ‘I was a bit jealous…’

Saif Ali Khan has opened up about the initial stages of his relationship with Kareena Kapoor Khan, admitting to experiencing some jealousy. In a conversation with Hollywood Reporter India, Saif shared insights into his marriage and how he navigated early insecurities.

Khan recounted advice he received from Rani Mukerji, noting that while it was well-intentioned, it didn't always apply to his dynamic with Kareena. He described Kareena as an "incredible woman," emphasizing her patience and loving nature. Saif acknowledged that Mukerji's advice came from a good place, as she was working closely with him at the time and is fond of Kareena. The advice centered on not being overly concerned about sharing aspects of his life, a concept Saif admitted he initially struggled with.

When asked to clarify if he was referring to sharing stardom, Saif explained it was more about accepting that other things besides their relationship held importance. He confessed to feeling "a bit jealous" and unsure how to handle Kareena's interactions with other men in the industry. He described these feelings as new emotions that required mature processing. Over time, a foundation of trust and belief developed between them. Saif reflected on how he had previously dated women outside the film industry, which meant less sharing of professional experiences. He realized that his rivals would become Kareena's allies, a shift in perspective that ultimately strengthened their bond. He even joked that if he ever became a producer, he would consider signing these 'allies'.

On the professional front, Saif Ali Khan is preparing for his role in Priyadarshan’s upcoming film, Haiwaan, alongside Akshay Kumar. Meanwhile, Kareena Kapoor isAnticipating the release of Meghna Gulzar's Daayra.
