Saif-Kareena: The Love Story

As they get ready to tie the knot soon, here's a recap of Bollywood's grandest love story

After 13 years of being married to first love Amrita Singh, and then dating Rosa Catalano for three years after his divorce, Saif and Kareena began seeing each other in October 2007

Before falling for Chhote Nawab, Bebo was in a steady relationship with Shahid Kapoor, from 2004 to 2007. It was during the filming of 'Jab We Met' that they parted ways. Ironically, the Imtiaz Ali film had them playing lovers, and went on to become a huge hit

Stories of the Saif-Kareena linkup began while the two were shooting for Yashraj Films' 'Tashan' in Ladakh and Rajasthan

Although Saif has received his share of criticism for leaving his kids and family, he has maintained that he is genuinely in love with Kareena

On the other hand, Kareena, who has been quizzed in the media more than once about her relationship with Saif, has always reiterated that destiny brought them together, and that, for her, Saif is the best

Ever since they began dating, Saif and Kareena have made no pretensions about their relationship. They are happy to be clicked as one in the media, and are very open to PDA. In fact, they very rarely appear without each other in public

Like every couple, Saif-Bebo have also had their ups and downs, at least as per the tabloids. In June 2011, reports of their alleged break up were gaining steam. However, the lovers rubbished the reports and put all rumours to death

Also, according to some media reports, Kareena was initially uncomfortable having Saif's kids around, but has been spotted with them a few times recently, forcing the doubters to believe that all was well

Kareena supported Saif wholeheartedly during the controversy at Taj Hotel earlier this year, when a bizman alleged that the 'Cocktail' star had punched him

Somehow, their real life love hasn't translated into on-screen success. The pair has acted in films like 'Tashan', 'Kurbaan' and 'Agent Vinod', all of which tanked at the box office

After innumerable media speculations over the D-day, Saif-Kareena will put 'the stamp of validation for the society' (as Saif said in one of his interviews) before the end of the year. Although the wedding date is yet to be decided, it has been confirmed that the nuptials will be a two-part affair. The actual ceremony in Delhi will be followed by a lavish celebrity affair in Mumbai
