Kareena Kapoor asked these questions before marrying Saif Ali Khan

During the episode, Saif recalled that Kareena took what he described as "test interviews" while they were dating. Their love story began during the shoot of the 2008 film Tashan, where sparks first flew between them. Saif revealed that while filming in Ladakh, the two would often go on long walks, during which Kareena would ask him deep, personal questions. "She would ask things like what I thought about love and relationships," Saif said, adding that the process felt like a mix of an interview and an old-fashioned compatibility test.

The conversation soon turned into a fun exchange between the guests. Akshay Kumar, who shared the couch with Saif, jumped in to talk about his own marriage with Twinkle Khanna. He humorously described their personalities as completely opposite — "she’s fire, and I’m water" — and shared that his secret to a happy marriage is to simply listen.


Adding to it, Saif shared recalled his father, the late Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi’s advice on handling marital disagreements. He shared that during arguments with his wife, Sharmila Tagore, his father would stay silent and think about cricket instead of reacting, a strategy that Saif jokingly admitted he sometimes uses too.
