The royal parents-to-be Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary on October 15. Needless to say, the Nawab ensured that his Bebo and his baby-(to-be) were with him on this special occasion.
And since the daddy-to-be was shooting for his upcoming flick--which is an Indian adaptation of Jon Favreau's Chef--in Kochi, he got Bebo to fly down to him. But this is not an unusual gesture from Saif who has more or less been an extremely supportive husband, or so says the glowing Kareena.
If it isn't supporting the pregnant Kareena in all her professional decisions, then it is helping her around the city hand-in-hand, Saif is clearly setting a strong precedent for expecting dads.
This is perhaps the reason that the two look very much in love and with the intimate details Kareena recently shared about their relationship, we are sure it will give you all major relationship goals!

While all of Bebo's fans and mums across the country got down to dissecting her bump, Saif Ali Khan took it upon himself to silence all the rumours.
“My wife and I would like to announce that we are expecting our first child in December. We would like to thank our well wishers for their blessings and support and also the press for their discretion and patience,” declared the proud dad-to-be.
In fact, when Kareena was asked for Saif's candid reaction to the news on the show Vogue BFFs she revealed, "I think he was very excited. I think the best compliment is that every day when he sees me, he’s like, 'I love you more when you’re pregnant. And I think you should just continuously be pregnant' and I was like, 'Oh God, no!'."
Although this is the latest and most important event in the lives of the Pataudi's, there were times in the past where they made us believe that true love does exist!

In the televised interview Kareena revealed that she rejected him twice before finally agreeing to marry the Nawab.

And we were on a holiday in Paris as well and I was just like 'Yeah, of course'," she shared.
She also revealed the sequence of events that led to her finally accepting the proposal.
"I think it was at the bar and then I think I said no and then there was one more time, in the same trip, and then we were at the Notre Dame Church. I was just like let's not talk about it. Because I was into my career and I was like 'let me think about it' and obviously two days later I was like 'Yeah'," she revealed.

But just as any other classic romantic tale, even they had to face major obstacles.
“She called me and said we should drive. I thought it was crazy, but we did. She drove from Leh to Kargill in winter. I came from Srinagar in my chappals. We stayed in the only hotel in Kargill and had a glass of champagne," he revealed.
Well, if this isn't love, what is! Won't we all do this for the one we love?

#5 When she influences him to be better
Speaking about wife and mum-to-be Kareena, Saif admitted that he was bowled over by her magical energy.
“She is a very wise girl. On one level, she has a blonde energy which is what makes her magical for me. But beneath that — you see her eyes and her acting also — there is a lot of stability in her. I am perhaps edgier. She gets you to do the right thing, because she doesn’t tell you what to do. She doesn’t say anything. She doesn’t complain. If she reaches the point of complaining, something has gone very wrong. She would like you to know yourself. It is an interesting approach and it works with me," he shared.
He also added that her relationships with his family members has also been a great addition to their relationship and something that has impressed him a lot.
"Certain things are very important for her. Like what my mother is saying is kind of more important for her than me sometimes. Her getting close to Sara and Ibrahim happened organically over time. She didn’t say ‘I love your kids’ overnight. Sara and she got close slowly. Looking back, I’m impressed with the way it happened. Bebo has got the holistic picture of harmony very clear,” he adds. Kareena certainly looks like the perfect bahu!
As for the changes that she has brought into his life, he says that discipline is one among them.
"Like when to drink and when not to. What to eat… the importance of respect to work and family. I suppose I have contributed to her not to get so hyper about work and to enjoy other things in life. I don’t know if before I met her, if the moon or the sunset were as important. Which it must be. It has to be," he shares.
This couple certainly gives us major couple goals!
