Bollywood's most talked about hot couple Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are in no rush to get married.
Recently the couple spent some quality time with Saif's parents. But according to the duo all this doesn't mean that marriage is the only thing their families constantly discuss. Infact the couple is tired of people insinuating that they are tying the knot soon.
Fans of Saifina obviously can't wait to see them get married. But both Bebo and Chote Nawab rubbish the rumours of their wedding in the near future.

Saif w'd have kissed SRK if were casted in Dostana
Saif Ali Khan has reportedly said that he would have kissed Shah Rukh Khan if both of them were casted for Dostana. In an interview by Rajeev Masand for NDTV Saif said that Dostana was enjoyable.
On the question if kissing scenes are hard to film, Saif said, "Saif Ali Khan: I think that's a good question. See if there is a kiss - there is nothing much to do. I think it is much more dramatic when you don't kiss. I don't think there is a kiss in Race. It's like almost a kiss. So you can touch here and there or kiss in different places and you are pretending. I don't think it is like in America where you have proper full on kissing and tongues and bodies touching - and I don't even like saying tongues on TV. It sounds so...I think we watch films with our parents and children and somewhere as Indians we cringe a little. That cringe factor needs to be avoided. Like for example in Ek Haseena Thi, working with Sriram Raghavan was good because it was a scene where the girl gets up from the bed wrapped in a sheet and you see her legs and the guy looks ripped and sits up in bed and lights a smoke - in the good days when you were allowed to smoke - it's great and suggestive and beautiful."

Review: Love Aaj Kal
After giving two great & beautiful movies, Socha Na Tha & Jab We Met, director Imtiaz Ali appears to have hit a snag with Love Aaj Kal. The movie is watchable but feels heavily compromised. The romantic drama could have worked wonderfully if it hadn’t tried to be funny in the first half. Even the second half doesn’t work as the laughs dry up. We have poignant moments interrupted by touches of lets-tickle-the-audience humour, as if India can’t take a drama straight up.Love Aaj Kal opens with a break-up - Saif Ali Khan & Deepika Padukone are parting ways with utmost cordiality, deciding indeed to have a break-up party to celebrate their rediscovered singledom. The girl leaves, the boy stays back and is then coerced by Rishi Kapoor, a genial London cafe owner, to say goodbye at the airport. Rishi drives Saif there and thrusts a bouquet into his hands, and Deepika’s delighted as she leaves. Kapoor then, on Saif’s insistence, starts telling him his own love story, and the film then narrates both romances side by side.
Imtiaz uses a very interesting device by casting Saif himself in the Kapoor flashbacks: Kapoor tells Khan how the boy reminds him of his youth, and so the Sikh Saif isn’t Kapoor as he used to look, but Kapoor as both he and Saif can visualise him as the tale is narrated. It’s a clever move even though Saif struggles rather laughably with his Punjabi early on in the film, and it doesn’t help how the narrative inevitably flips back and forth between that and the overslanged Lay’s-salesman Saif of today. A good move overall, though.
Imtiaz is one of the most promising filmmakers in the country today but his songs abruptly interrupted the proceedings which he earlier managed to weave in seamlessly into his narratives. The dialogues are still his biggest strength, but here the conversation is so peppered with Hinglish in an obvious attempt to connect with the kids that it doesn’t wash - Saying ‘aapka angle kya hai?’ for ‘what’s your angle?’ just doesn’t work, sorry.
Love Aaj Kal is a harmless, watchable film — sad, because it could have been truly special. It has its moments in the first half, while the second half is an over-melodramatic drag. Or have I missed the point, and is Imtiaz making an incisive comment on the nature of Bollywood masala, saying be it today or yesterday, our romances stay as cheesy as they are breezy?

Saif: I play a more real sardar than Akshay Kumar did
Saif Ali Khan believes in love... period! Be it Aaj or Kal... our Nawab has never failed to fall in love. In a candid chat with Renuka Vyavahare , actor Saif Ali Khan confesses to have matured and evolved over the years when it comes to love in real life clarifying, “It’s unfair to say too much love has been happening in his life!
Love Aaj Kal comes at a time when too much love has been happening in your real life.
(Smiles) It’s unfair to say that there’s too much love happening in my life. You guys (media) is largely responsible for what has been going on in my life.
Love Aaj Kal is your home production, Kareena’s your girlfriend and a seasoned star. Wouldn’t Kareena been a safer bet instead of Deepika?
None of my directors listen to me (laughs). Deepika is a new face. She is very Indian and a mature actor. Her personality grounds my personality in a way what Rani Mukherjee does to me. We are of different types, Deepika is earthy while I am more western and this contrast makes us interesting onscreen.
Newcomer Harleen has been ignored in the promotions, is it a deliberate move?
Main focus of the film is Deepika and I. Harleen plays an important character but it would be misleading to say she plays the lead too.
You play a Sikh in Love Aaj Kal like what Akshay and Salman did recently.
Sardarjis would be proud by my accurate and honourable representation of my Sikh character. I had a dialogue coach who helped me on my Punjabi accent. I haven’t seen Salman but Akshay in Singh Is King was more glamorous and cool; he looked stagy and larger than life while I play the more real, down to earth Sardar. If my Langda Tyagi was genuine because of my diction, this one should be liked too. My beard, trousers everything looks real.
Has the concept of love changed over the years for you in real life too?
I am not that old but may be I’ll write a book on it. I feel you live and learn and you evolve.
There are lot of kisses in Love Aaj Kal.
They are not really intimate scenes as I feel as Indians they make us a bit uncomfortable.
Has Kareena seen Love Aaj Kal?
Yes she has and she liked it.
People compare you to Brangelina.
I am Saif Ali Khan of the Bombay film industry and that sounds fine.
As a producer how has the experience been?
I’ve been a big fan of secret societies. I had thought of Lucifer before but then we settled for Illuminati as my production house’s name. I ensured that people get paid on time and get good food as a producer.

Saifeena to be Brangelina?
Abhishek and Aishwarya may hold the majority of votes when it comes to the hottest married couple in Bollywood, but it is Saif and Kareena who occupy the minds of all when it comes to the hottest unmarried couple.
Saif and Kareena have been dating for two years, and now that times are changing, they are more and more vocal about their relationship.
Saif and Kareena, or Saifeena as some call them can be compared to Hollywood's hottest couple Brad and Angelina not just because 'saifeena' rhymes with 'brangelina' or because they are the 'it' couples of filmdom, but for another, more literal reason.
