New mum Kareena Kapoor Khan is quite close to her step kids and is especially pally with Sara. In fact, she often gushes about her closeness to the two and even stated in a interview that Sara is her "bar-hopping partner."
"They are wonderful kids. They love me and I love them. We are like the best of friends. They are my family. I love my family to be around me all the time. It grounds you and keeps you in a happy space. Sara, Ibrahim, my mother-in-law (Sharmila Tagore), Soha, Sabah… We all are close to each other," she said.
And while earlier Sara's mum Amrita Singh had no problem with her kids' closeness to their stepmum, the equation is fast changing due to recent personal developments with Sara.
Amrita miffed with Saif and Kareena!
The budding actor and Columbia University graduate who is currently preparing to enter the movie business was rumoured to have been dating Harshvardhan Kapoor, actor Anil Kapoor's son.
In fact, the two had been spotted partying with each other at either Sara's home and many times at Saif and Kareena's Bandra pad.
But after dating for four months the couple have reportedly called it quits because mum Amrita did not want Sara to deviate form her B-town dreams.
What upset Amrita more was the fact that Saif and Kareena allowed Sara to party and meet Harshvardhan at their home. Instead of stopping her, which she believed they should have, they seemed to provided more opportunities for her to meet Kapoor.
Either way, the couple is no longer as close as they perhaps earlier were, thanks to Amrita wanting Sara to only concentrate on her career. But this development has added more fuel to the fire already brewing between exes Saif and Amrita.
Amrita and Saif already warring over Sara's career choice?
Just last month, Saif had shared his concern over Sara joining the movie business and added that she should have chosen a different career.
“Why would she want that for herself? Look at where she studied. After having done that, why wouldn’t she want to live and work in New York, rather than do this? I am not looking down on acting, it’s just it is not the most stable profession. And everyone lives in constant fear. And there is no guarantee that despite doing your best, you will succeed. This is not the life, any parent would want for their children,” he said in an interview.
However, his statement, although said with good intentions for his daughter did not go down very well with ex-wife Amrita. She reportedly called and lambasted him for his statements.
"She told him it was an irresponsible thing to say considering Sara is about to embark on a film career," the source told the daily. "Saif didn’t want to be dragged into an argument, so he mumbled that he was ‘quoted out of context’ and calmed down his former wife," a source shared.
Although the two may have sorted the issue for now, for the sake of their daughter's image in the public, it looks like their difficult marriage and difference of opinion is escalating to their kids' lives.
However, it can be handled if exes come together, sort their difference and not use their kids as spies.
