Mumbai,February 03 :Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are all set for a quick engagement on February 10 according to the latest Bollywood buzz.
The duo has been the toast of the B- Town grapevine ever since they became a couple four years ago. Saif, 41, and Kareena, 31, had announced their plans to get married soon after the release of Saif’s upcoming ambitious production Agent Vinod , co- starring his bride- to- be. The film releases on March 23.
Incidentally, Kareena’s new rom- com Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu will release on February 10.
“ Saif and Kareena are serious about their marriage. They have been in love for quite some time and both of them think this is the right time to tie the knot.
However, both of them have important films lined up. The engagement and wedding will have to be balanced with the work load,” a source close to the actress said.
Kareena, who is currently in London with her sister Karisma, will be promoting her new film even as she prepares for the engagement. Saif, too, has been working hard over the past year or so to get his megabudget spy thriller Agent Vinod ready for release.
Kareena is likely to wear a Vikram Phadnis creation at the engagement. The venue is yet to be decided and both the families have reportedly planned a private ring ceremony to be attended only by close friends and relatives.
Both the engagement and the subsequent wedding will be lowkey affairs as Saif’s father Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi passed away only a few months ago.
Saifeena may throw a party for industry colleagues a few days after the engagement, either at a Mumbai hotspot or at Saif’s residence, a source added.
Reports of a February 10 engagement have come as a surprise for many, considering Saifeena have been shying away from specifically answering questions about settling down.
During the recent unveiling of the first look of Agent Vinod , Saif skirted the topic saying: “ I would like to talk about my film at this event and not about my engagement or marriage.” While sources close to the actors said they picked February 10 for the engagement because of the date’s proximity to Valentine’s Day, others have indicated that the news could be aimed at promoting Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu . “ Everyone is waiting eagerly for the Saif- Kareena wedding. However, there was no hint so far of an engagement at such a short notice. The Valentine’s Day angle cannot be glossed over but what is worth noting is that Kareena also has a romantic comedy releasing in the same week,” a trade insider, not wishing to be named, said.
Kareena has Talaash and Heroine lined up and Saif’s other big films are Race 2 and Cocktail.
