Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan are among the power couples in the Hindi film industry. For the unversed, the duo dated each other for a long time before tying the knot in 2012. They are parents to two sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan. Saif and his first wife, Amrita Singh, parted ways in 2004 after 13 years of togetherness. Kareena maintained a very respectful relationship with Amrita and their children, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan.
Once, in an interview with Anupama Chopra, Saif Ali Khan was asked, "You mentioned it's a blessing to have a wife you like; not everyone has that luxury." To this, the actor hilariously mentioned that he should mind his words before saying anything. However, he clarified his stance and shared that being in love is very important and said:
"It's a blessing to be loved. I mean, after a while, we all get into relationships, but things change. When you are in love, you don't even realise that you are two different people. You like certain things about them and respect the way they live their life. You like somebody like a friend, that I would like to be around you because I can't be you. That's the thought. So, that's being lucky only."
Saif Ali Khan further mentioned that he has seen many couples falling out of love after being together for a long time. However, taking a dig at his own divorce, the actor said that a person can't afford to keep getting divorced as it costs a lot of money. He added:
"I can well imagine a lot of people not liking the people they are stuck with after a point. You can't afford to keep getting divorced. You need a lot of money to keep giving. So, then people deal with it if it's a pleasure."

Saif Ali Khan was granted a divorce from his now ex-wife, Amrita Singh, in 2004. In a 2005 interview with the Telegraph, Saif had revealed that he was supposed to give Amrita Rs. 5 crore in alimony, but he paid approximately Rs 2.5 crore and promised to pay the rest of the amount later. He also spoke about how he was saving for their kids, Sara and Ibrahim, and said:
"I'm supposed to give Amrita Rs 5 crore, of which I've already given her approximately Rs 2.5 crore. Also, I'm paying Rs 1 lakh per month until my son becomes 18. I've promised her I'll pay up the rest of the money, and I will, even if I've to slog till I drop dead. Whatever I've earned from doing ads, stage shows and films are being given for my children. I've no money. Our bungalow is for Amrita and the kids, and never mind the relatives who've joined her after my departure."
