21. On falling in love with Saif
“We were in Ladakh to shoot Tashan. I had just broken up with Shahid Kapoor. Even though I had met Saif socially, we hadn’t spoken much. When I spotted him near the hotel pool, he was tanning on a lounge chair, clad in just jeans. I told my friend, ‘Oh my God… he’s so hot!'”
22. On live-in relationship Kareena said
“I had a live-in relationship with him and we were quite open about this fact. Many people want to hide their boyfriends in public. I didn’t. I have tried and tested the live-in relationship formula and now I can personally endorse it for modern Indian couples (laughs). And live-ins are a reality in modern India. I am a modern woman and I am glad I could live up to what I believe in.”
23. On her mother-in-law
“When I am with the family, I am treated like a daughter. Sharmilaji treats me like a daughter. We are not in the 1900s. We don’t live like traditional saas bahus. We just went to the Maldives for a holiday where I wore a bikini in front of my mother-in-law. It’s normal.”
