00:00Being married, let's face it, in our line of work is not great.
00:05I mean, it's pretty taboo for an actress, particularly.
00:09Kareena is a wonderful person.
00:10Saira and Ibrahim also have been brought up so beautifully.
00:13We're in a wonderful place right now.
00:14Only Kareena Kapoor.
00:16You're jealous of her?
00:18She's the only one who can make me jealous.
00:20Do you need anything?
00:28There is a lot more comfort in the relationship that you have with each other
00:31as opposed to in the beginning, I think, you were combating
00:33a little bit of the baggage that both of you brought to the relationship.
00:36And I think you are over and done with...
00:38vis a vis that. Does that feel good?
00:39Hopefully, I think it feels really good
00:41And I mean, I, for one, think she's always been wonderful
00:44but I've never gone out with or been with an actress before
00:49who's currently working at the same time as me
00:52and that, I think, requires a little bit of understanding
00:55which she's been very patient with
00:59so I think Touchwood, we're in a wonderful place right now.
01:02And have you overcome, Saif, what you call the guilt factor
01:05especially with your kids, with the woman you're dating
01:08who's not their mother?
01:09You know, there's also that whole emotional dynamic
01:12in your headspace. You have to get over it
01:14to not be guilty around your children with the woman you're dating.
01:16Yes, of course. I don't feel guilty at all.
01:19I mean, you know, some people have simple paths
01:22and some have been a little more complicated
01:24but I think we're all in a happy place now
01:26and Kareena's a wonderful person.
01:28Saif and Ibrahim also have been brought up so beautifully
01:31and so Touchwood...
01:33I think if they see their father happy
01:35they see there's happiness and joy
01:37I don't think there's no room for any guilt.
01:40No, there isn't.
01:41So when's the big date?
01:43When do you get married?
01:44Well, I mean, I thought you might ask that question.
01:47And we talk about it often
01:49but half the time it's a conversation about
01:52the birth of a future
01:53and the other half is like a funeral
01:55because, I mean, being married
01:58let's face it, in our line of work
02:01is not great.
02:03I mean, it's pretty taboo for an actress, particularly.
02:07Do you think so, really?
02:08I think so.
02:09And also, Kareena pointed out something
02:11that I completely agree with
02:13because people have cited in the past
02:14the example of my mother.
02:16But she said that was a time also
02:18when actresses played roles older than themselves.
02:21I mean, they would put...
02:22If you remember, actually,
02:23a lot of, I think, Amma's famous roles
02:26involved her graying her hair.
02:28Including Amar Prem.
02:29Amar Prem.
02:30Whereas today it is about youth.
02:33But do you think that should really come in the way
02:35of your personal happiness?
02:36No, no, no.
02:37Actually, even marriage has got
02:39little to do with my personal happiness,
02:41in fact, at the moment.
02:42The point is that
02:43Kareena is really passionate about acting
02:46and she loves working.
02:48And that's something that's really important to her.
02:50So, that's something that's important to me as well.
02:53And I think marriage is something that you take on.
02:56It's a new beginning
02:57that should come at the right time.
03:04So, that's a commitment made
03:05that there will be no kissing on screen.
03:06That's what we've said.
03:07Yeah.
03:08Do you think we'll break that pact first?
03:12No, I don't think we will.
03:13But you're okay with the lovemaking?
03:14That's a bit...
03:15Lovemaking is a different kind of art on screen, I feel.
03:17You know, it's all about, like, you know...
03:19We've done it in Kurban.
03:20Yeah, but that you do it with each other.
03:22Yeah.
03:23But even in Race, Bipasha and I,
03:25I mean, you saw that together.
03:27It wasn't particularly offensive.
03:28Was that bothersome to watch?
03:29No, not at all.
03:30You're okay about it.
03:31One celebrity who brings out
03:32the following emotions in you.
03:34Jealousy.
03:35Only Kareena Kapoor.
03:37You're jealous of her?
03:38She's the only one who can make me jealous.
