When Kareena Kapoor Said Saif Ali Khan Was Too 'English' To Make A Move On Her: 'I Pushed The Right Buttons...'
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor's romance began on the sets of Tashan in 2008. They married in 2012 and have two sons. Recently, Saif was injured in a home robbery.

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s love story is one of Bollywood’s most-celebrated romances. The couple first crossed paths on the sets of Tashan in 2008, a time when Kareena was still in a relationship with Shahid Kapoor. According to reports, while filming, Kareena and Saif grew close, eventually leading to the end of her relationship with Shahid. In a old chat with Niranjan Iyer, Kareena opened up on how she made the first move because Saif was ‘restrained’.
She had said, “I was the one who kind of pushed all the right buttons. Saif actually is the kind of guy who is not very forthcoming towards any woman. He will never make the first move. He is too English and restrained in that way. And plus, when I made the first move, he was like, ‘I can’t believe that Kareena Kapoor is doing this’. He was like, ‘why?’ I mean, it was like an entire building had crumbled on his head. So I don’t know what he meant by that, whether he thought he was very lucky or what. But well, eventually it all worked out. And I think it was, I was responsible for it."
