2. Saif on seeing Kareena for the first time

"Oh, this is something even she doesn't know. She was 14, sitting on a ledge outside a makeup room, staring ahead with big green eyes. Someone told me 'this is Karisma Kapoor's kid sister'. I thought she was simply stunning".

3. Kareena on moving in with Saif

"Saif and I moved in together because I was ready to leave my mother's house, and if he and I did not live together, we would barely meet...There were some raised eyebrows, especially since I am from the Kapoor family. But I was always honest about it. In Bollywood, the tried-and-tested formula always works, so why not try and test a relationship? I didn't see anything wrong in it".

4. Saif on how Kareena is his perfect match

"I think timing is everything. I met Kareena at a point in my life when I was ready to consolidate and build in every area of my life. She brought a great sense of stability; I felt like we were able to create a solid foundation on which I could build emotionally, financially and professionally".

5. Kareena on Saif's proposal for marriage

"He actually proposed to me a couple of months after we met in Paris. In fact, his father (Indian cricketing legend Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi aka Tiger Pataudi) proposed to his mother (veteran actress Sharmila Tagore) also in Paris, when she was shooting a film 'An Evening in Paris'. And we were on a holiday in Paris as well and I was just like 'Yeah, of course'. I think it was at the bar and I think I said no and then there was one more time (he proposed), on the same trip, and then we were at the Notre Dame Church. I was just like let's not talk about it. Because I was into my career and I was like 'Let me think about it' and obviously two days later I was like, 'Yeah'".

6. Saif expressing about Kareena

"She's so special. She can be a child or a woman, at her discretion and convenience, which is so endearing. Despite her background, she's more professional and hardworking than most 'self-made' people".

7. Kareena on how lucky she is to have Saif as her partner

"God has been very kind to me. I am lucky to have found this man who is so modern, so liberated. He's much more intelligent than me. I like the fact that he is so well read and that I can count on him for everything".

8. Saif on how Kareena balances motherhood and work

"The kind of person that Kareena is...she's not going to ever think that her life and career is over with motherhood. That is not what I want either. I am sure she will find the right balance".

9. Kareena on her life with Saif post marriage

"I don't think anything has changed. If you are in love and you are happy, then that's all that matters. I believe in the institution of marriage and it's like a tag to cement the relationship for your friends, family and public. And it is a celebration of the fact that Saif and I are in love, and we want to spend our life together".

10. Saif on starting a family with Kareena and their son Taimur Ali Khan

"I think it's also a great expression of my relationship with Kareena. To have a child now completes us. There is something about a baby that is kind of half of mine and half of hers, so, it's a nice feeling".
