The much talked about couple in Bollywood would be handsome hunk Saif Ali Khan and the size zero babe Kareena Kapoor. As approval from Saif’s mother Sharmila Tagore Pataudi is out in public, they are to tie the nuptial knot very soon at any time. This could confirm their underlying love and Kareena would settle down as second wife to Saif after the divorce with Amrita Singh.
