"Kareena and I have been lucky to have grown together."
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary on October 16 and on the occasion, Saif revealed the secret to their success.
Speaking about their bond, Saif said:
“Yes, it has been ten years! And two lovely sons with her. And yeah, there is the important anniversary coming up. It feels nice.
“Kareena is an incredible woman. I don’t say it often enough. I don’t post on Instagram on how wonderful she is, because I am not on social media.
“She jokingly tells me to get on social media to see what others say about her.
“So let me take this opportunity to say she is an absolutely incredible woman.”
On what makes Kareena incredible, Saif elaborated:
“The way she balances out her life and priorities. And she is such a good friends with her friends. I’ve seen her caring so much about how an evening should be planned with her friends.
“She is correct in her behaviour. She takes all the right emotional decisions. I don’t know how to put it… just her inherent sense of balance: family, personal time, kids, work.
“She has taught me a lot about time management and organising family holidays; when to go to our ancestral town Pataudi, when to go to London, when to just stay home and make pizzas.
“It is her enthusiasm and organising skills that keep the family happy.
“I think Kareena and I have been lucky to have grown together. It’s been a great ten years and I feel very lucky and blessed.”
Saif Ali Khan also detailed what he believes is the secret to a successful marriage.
He said: “I don’t know anything about a secret formula.
“But I know what is great about my relationship with Kareena is that there is a great deal of space to do our own things.
“We give a lot of weightage to our individual interests. I’ve made her a book reader. She has made me more gregarious.”
“Our jobs, creative as they are, keep us healthily occupied so that when we find time to be together, we cherish and celebrate our togetherness.
“That balance between being together and giving each other the space… it’s a bit tricky.
“But it’s all good when you have two like-minded people, like us.
“We give equal importance to doing films and making pizzas at home.
“I think it’s a healthy balance of work, family friends and together-time. Leading a balanced life comes as naturally to Kareena as me.”
