Since the beginning of her career, Kareena Kapoor Khan has given us many diva moments, be it on screen or off. But her style really came into its own when she started dating and later married the suave Nawab of Pataudi, Saif Ali Khan.
And while most of us believed her to not conform to traditional customs, given how the couple opted for a registered marriage, she stunned everybody with her choice of clothes for her formal royal photo custom.
She wore her great grand mother-in-law's sharara and posed for a traditional photograph looking resplendent.
However, after almost four years, she has finally revealed why she choose to wear the traditional outfit and why it could just be the best homage to her regal mother-in-law.
Why she chose her MILs outfit at her own function...
In the video she is asked about the best part of her wedding, to which she replied, "Saif and my wedding was really really special, because there were just 100 people and it was more about us rather than everything else. It was very intimate."
She then reveals candid emotional details about her outfit.
"The beauty of it (the wedding) was that I wore my great grand mother-in-law's outfit, which I think is extremely stunning and regal. So I was very lucky!" she says.
She also dished out more details about her wedding, right before she got ready to walk the ramp for designer Sabyasachi at the Lakme Fashion Week.
Candid moments at the wedding
When asked about the favourite song of the couple, she responded by saying that all the songs of the 80s were their favourite. "It's all the 80s numbers like Ek, Do, Teen and all of Sridevi's songs and Madhuri's songs. Because I am a huge 80s fan!" she said.
As far as who danced the most at the wedding, she revealed, "It was Saif and I. And of course, don't you think it should be the bride and groom rather than everybody else dancing at the wedding!"
Kareena's sweet gesture of donning her great grand mother-in-law's outfit that was passed on to her MIL and now to this Begum is a sweet reminder of how a daughter-in-law can forge a successful relationship with her in-laws.
The soon-to-be mum has time and again expressed her closeness to her mother-in-law and her extended family by marriage.

How Kareena befriended her MIL
While it's not necessary that you make your mother-in-law fall in love with you, it's just easier to maneuver within the family when you maintain a cordial relationship with everybody including your MIL!
And we feel that Kareena is doing a splendid job as a working woman who also knows how to balance her personal relationships, especially with her in-laws. So if you're wondering what she may be doing right, here's our take on becoming the best of friends with your mother-in-law (akin Kareena).
#1 Respecting the mum-in-law
Despite being an A-lister star herself, Kareena understands that her mum-in-law is also a public figure who has been admired and loved by all for her dignity and grace. No wonder then she often looks upto her as her idol.
"She is the ultimate actor in the film industry. She’s a living legend. I also look up to her for the way she has lived her life and brought up her three children. She has been an amazing wife and mother. I aspire to strike that balance in my life,” Kareena said recently in an interview.
#2 Admiration the MIL for her life's feats
Kareena has also been extremely vocal about her admiration for her mum-in-law. In fact, she considers herself to be blessed to have such a mum-in-law.
"She has worked all her life. So, that’s something I admire the most. And she’s not been very insular in this industry. She has her own life. She’s always travelling, giving talks. She’s also been the perfect homemaker, even at the peak of her career,” she says.
#3 Involving the MIL in her important life events
Apart from her admiration for her MIL, Kareena also considers Tagore to be extremely beautiful and graceful and something that she would like to carry forward as the Begum of Pataudi.
"Even today, her beauty is breathtaking. I sometimes stare at her and wonder, ‘Wow; someone like her truly exists’," she says.
It comes as no surprise then that Kareena chose her MILs outfit for her own wedding; not just as an homage to her mother-in-law, but also for striking the right cord with the other woman who matters most to her husband!
