Kareena Kapoor meets Saif Ali Khan’s parents

Despite rumour mills suggesting that Bebo is feeling claustrophobic and smothered by Saifs’ obsession with her, their relationship seems to be getting stronger by the day. Last week, while Kareena was visiting Saif on the sets of his first production unit in London, Kareena bonded big time with Saif’s parents there. Says a member of Saif’s production unit, “Kareena looked after Saif’s parents like her own. It was quite evident that her move was not a deliberate attempt to win over Saif’s parents, or impress Saif. When she feels affectionate towards people, she gives unconditionally.” Kareena is unarguably Saif’s first lady-love whom his parents have taken to so wholeheartedly.

Our source from London adds, “Kareena has always been extremely affectionate and warm. So it did not come as a surprise that she bonded with Saif’s parents well and they in turn reciprocated her warmth a gesture that they never showed with any of Saif’s earlier companions.” When we contacted Saif who is in London, he said, “It’s true that my parents met Kareena in London and they got along like a house on fire. My parents adore her irrespective of her achievements as an actress.”

What Saif leaves unsaid is that his parents had disapproved of his earlier relationships.“But they adore Kareena,” he says a tad wistfully from London. “My dad thinks she’s lovely. That makes two of us,” he adds. With sanctions from Saif’s parents, all that the couple needs is an approval from Kareena’s parents, a process that he has already initiated.

Kareena Kapoor-Harman break the ice


Debutant actor Harman Baweja, who is foraying into the film world with the much talked about futuristic film “Love Story 2050?, says he has sorted out his problems with Kareena Kapoor created by fabricated remarks. The actor says he was shocked and embarrassed after reading reports about him making uncharitable remarks about Kareena. The remarks attributed to him about Kareena being ‘robotic’ in her performances had upset Harman.

“I’d never speak like that about anyone, least of all someone who is a senior (colleague) and was gracious enough to work with me when I was just starting out. That she finally opted out of ‘Love Story 2050? doesn’t take away from the fact that we got along really well,” Harman, who has teamed up with Priyanka Chopra in the film, ent earlier this week. On an impulse he sent an SMS to Kareena, telling her how awful the words attributed to him about her made him feel. Kareena, who is in the US shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala’s “Kambhakt Ishq”, apparently replied back in a long heartfelt message, saying she has been a part of the film industry long enough to know how such things work.

She is also said to have ended her message by assuring Harman she had no ill feelings towards him and was looking forward to seeing his film that releases Friday.Harman is relieved and overjoyed that the matter has been sorted out. “All I’ll say is I’d never talk like that about anyone. Kareena is someone I truly admire. And if people want to spoil my relations with her, let them try. It won’t work.”
