Living up to the legacy of her family name, Kareena Kapoor Khan has created a niche for herself in the film industry over the years. Apart from her professional choices, Kareena’s personal life has always been in the limelight, whether it’s her marriage with Nawab of Pataudi, Saif Ali Khan or her ‘comeback’ to work after the birth of her firstborn, Taimur Ali Khan. And there’s no second thought when we say that Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan top the power couple list of B-town!

Kareena Kapoor Khan has been connecting with her fans lately via What Women Want, an Ishq FM talk show, wherein she has sat down to chat with several note-worthy names from the industry. In one of the segments called ‘Bebology With Kareena Kapoor Khan’ on her show, in which a fan gets a chance to ask Kareena one question, her husband Saif Ali Khan got the opportunity to ask his wife a question. When Saif asked wife, Kareena his question, she couldn’t believe that he could have asked something so ‘cheeky’ on national radio.
Saif Ali Khan asked wife Kareena Kapoor Khan, "You know how it's like... once you've had a baby, people say that relationships and things change, and wives get like really into the child and the relationship changes slightly or you know she's busy and doesn't have much time. Is there any way - this is my question - that a husband can get more attention or make his wife happier post-baby? Are there any tips you can give us in this direction?" He rounded off his question with a personal sign-off note: "All the best, see you at home!"
Kareena Kapoor replied to her husband, Saif Ali Khan’s question, "Really? Very cheeky of you Saifu to be asking this on national radio but either way, I think I should answer it. I think a husband should just BE there for the wife. Baby means bahut saari extra responsibilities and wo share karne se wife bahut khush ho jayegi I'm sure."
Bebo added, "As for attention, plan a nice date for her... kahin romantic location pe... you know... without the baby and then see the magic... haan? Aur agar wife bole ki use baby ke saath time spend karna hai, toh bura maat mano (and if your wife says she wants to spend time with the baby, don't feel bad, okay?). It doesn't mean she loves you any less. It just means thode time ke liye uska perspective change ho gaya hai. Anyway, hoping for a nice romantic date from you soon, Saifu. The class is now dismissed."

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Saif was asked the qualities he admires of Kareena, to which he replied, “There are obvious things like loyalty...giving importance to family, being grounded and not being too carried away with all the work that we can get carried away by. Having your priorities straight - time for family, time for friends, that is the most important. Along with work being important as well but not obsessing to the point of cut-throat decisions and doing everything for that and then ending up only having that (laughs). As a wife, not being very pushy and demanding. Being very easy going about a lot of things. You've got to be easy to live with if you want someone to live with you happily. She's very easy to live with.” (Also Read: Vicky Kaushal Reveals How He Fell In Love With GF Harleen Sethi, Says It Felt Right From Beginning)
Revealing the secret behind his successful marriage with Kareena, Saif had stated, “Please don't put nazar on it!"(laughs) We are not the love gurus and relationship experts. One of the reasons is, we actually have quite a healthy life, in the sense that we have time together and we have time apart. We have lives and careers that actually don't concern each other. There's enough happening without getting on each other's nerves as it were, at least for the kind of people we are.”
The Sacred Games star further added, “There is a little bit of individuality and there's enough togetherness. You don't get the feeling that you have to be stifled or that you need to make a change because everything seems well balanced. If we have been lucky enough, it's because there is a balance that suits our personalities. I think that is the key to it. There is no secret mantra."
He concluded, "We're just bumbling along like everybody else. Also, the actual bottom line is you have to be a bit unconditional in your loving like you are with children. You can't really expect or get too worked up about things. You have to be unconditional and not sweat the small stuff. If your partner has the right intention, then you shouldn't bother about little things.” (Also Read: Ritika Sajdeh Shares Video Of 'Sleeping Beauty' Samaira Smiling, Rohit Sharma Plays With Little One)
