Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan have long been celebrated as one of the most glamorous couples of Bollywood. Their journey together, from co-stars to life partners, has captivated fans, making their love story nothing short of a fairytale. Recently, a resurfaced video of Saif reminiscing about his first meeting with Kareena has stirred admiration among their fans.
A segment from a past joint interview of the couple has been making rounds on social media. In the clip, Saif recalls the moment he first saw Kareena at Filmistan Studios, a location known for its historic contributions to Indian cinema. He was in the midst of a shoot when he noticed a young girl sitting outside the makeup room, observing him with quiet curiosity. He later learned that she was Kareena Kapoor, the younger sister of Karisma Kapoor. Even in that fleeting moment, he found her beautiful and intriguing, a sentiment that only deepened with time.
Here is what Saif said in the video, “Actually, peheli baar maine jab unko dekha tha tab main Filmistaan studio mein shooting kar raha tha. Toh ek chhoti ladki baithi thi makeup room ke bahar, deewar pe akele baithi thi aise aur dekh rahi thi meri taraf.”
He further said, “Maine pucha kisi se ki yeh kaun hai? Toh unhone kaha ki yeh Kareena Kapoor hai, Karisma Kapoor ki choti behen. Mujhe laga ki bahut khoobsurat hai mere kheyal se. Aur woh tabse mujhe kaafi acchi lagi.”
Here is the video which was posted with the caption, “Saif narrating about how he met young Kareena in Filmistaan studio and found her ‘acchi’ from then.”

Fans were quick to express their admiration for the couple’s enduring chemistry, with many noting how Kareena seemed genuinely flattered by Saif’s recollection. However, their love story truly began years later while filming Tashan in 2008. From then on, they were frequently seen together, making no attempt to hide their relationship from the public eye. After five years of courtship, they sealed their bond in a wedding ceremony in 2012. Their love grew stronger with time and they welcomed their two sons – Taimur in 2016 and Jehangir in 2021.
Saif’s commitment to Kareena was further symbolised by the tattoo of her name in Devanagari script on his arm, a gesture that Kareena herself viewed as a profound declaration of love. She, in turn, has embraced Saif’s past, including his marriage to Amrita Singh and his children, Sara and Ibrahim, fostering a modern and blended family dynamic that is often celebrated on social media.
Saif and Kareena’s story continues to be a source of inspiration, proving that love, destiny and timing work in mysterious yet magical ways.
