Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan are hands down one of Bollywood’s most loved couples. From their fairytale wedding in 2012 to their adorable kids, Taimur and Jeh, they’ve always been in the limelight. But back in the day, when sparks first flew between them, Kareena’s sister, Karisma Kapoor, had a rather shocking reaction to the news!
Recently, both Kapoor sisters made an appearance on Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show, and boy, did Karisma spill the beans on how Kareena dropped the “I’m dating Saif Ali Khan” bomb! Karisma hilariously recalled that she was totally caught off guard by the news.
It all happened when Kareena decided to break it down gently. According to Karisma, Bebo (a Kareena’s lovingly called) called her while she was out shopping in London. “She literally told me to find a seat before she shared what was going on,” Karisma said, adding that she thought Kareena was overreacting. But being a good sister, Karisma did as told and plopped down on a sofa in the middle of the store.
Then came the big reveal. Kareena said, “The thing is, I’m in love with Saif. We’re together. We’re dating.” And Karisma? She was holding onto that sofa. “I wanted to grip the sofa tighter,” she laughed, completely surprised that her buddy and co-star Saif was now dating her sister!
Kapil, being Kapil, then asked the million-dollar question: who said “I love you” first? Unsurprisingly, Kareena owned up to being the first to confess her feelings. “Knowing me, I definitely told him first. It was really important to express what I felt about us,” she said. And in true Bebo style, she also threw in a cheeky Jab We Met reference, saying, “Everyone knows I’m my own favorite. So before telling anyone else, I had to tell him ( Saif Ali Khan ) first!”
Now that’s the Kareena we know and love—direct, confident, and completely in charge!
On the work front, Kareena is gearing up for her role in Rohit Shetty’s action-packed Singham Returns, and the cast is a total star-studded affair. Besides Kareena, you’ve got the ever-intense Ajay Devgn, action king Akshay Kumar, Bollywood queen Deepika Padukone, the electrifying Ranveer Singh, young gun Tiger Shroff, and the dashing Arjun Kapoor.
Looks like Kareena’s got quite an exciting year ahead, both on and off the screen!
