Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan
Kareena Kapoor Khan was recently featured on the cover of The Dirty Magazine. The actress spoke about her family and being a star for over 20 years in the film industry. The actress got married to actor Saif Ali Khan in 2012. Khan was earlier married to Amrita Singh with whom he has two kids- Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan. In the new interview, Kareena spoke about her kids Taimur and Jeh, and wanting to live her life in front of them.
In the interview, Kareena revealed the reason for getting married to Saif Ali Khan after living together for five years. "The reason you get married now is that you want to have a child, right? I mean today otherwise you can just live together. We [Saif Ali Khan and I] lived together for five years, so when we took the next step, it was because we wanted to have children," she said. The actress met Saif Ali Khan during the shoot of Tashan and fell in love with him. The couple had an intimate wedding in the presence of their family and close friends. Kareena and Saif have two sons - Taimur Ali Khan (born in 2016) and Jehangir Ali Khan (born in 2021).
Talking about her approach to parenting, the 'Jab We Met' star shared, "There is no right or wrong way'.
"We treat them (the kids) as individuals, we respect them, and we just let them be. They will figure it out, they will find their own path. Kids are quite resilient, you know... I want to live my life in front of my kids, I want to do everything with them. We have to be happy na, then they will flourish. I'm responsible for my own mental health first," she added.

The actress further said that she is an emotional person which people perhaps do not see. "I'm very attached to my family, my kids, my husband (Saif Ali Khan), my five friends. That's it. That's my life. I need my people. My spot boy has been with me from my first shot. People who come into my world, I don't let them go and they don't leave. That's why I'm not at every single party. I don't feel the need to be doing that. Being at parties, making friends, socialising. I don't want to."
