Kareena Kapoor on why she took her time before marrying Saif Ali Khan: ‘Best decision’

In a 2018 conversation on her show, What Women Want, Kareena Kapoor Khan revealed that she took her time before marrying Saif Ali Khan. The couple met during the filming of Tashan in Greece, where Saif suggested they should get married. Kareena confessed that she wasn't entirely sure about him at first, but after getting to know him better, she made the best decision of her life.

Psychotherapist Delnna Rrajesh explained that taking time to understand a potential partner better is essential for a healthy relationship. Falling in love is an exhilarating experience, but understanding love requires context, patterns, and coping styles. Rushing into a marriage without sufficient emotional data increases the risk of misattunement, as partners may discover differing conflict styles, emotional needs, communication rhythms, and values. Taking time to know a partner better is not fear, but rather relational intelligence.
