Bollywood star couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor on Tuesday, tied the knot here in a quiet affair after a five-year courtship.
Mr Saif, 42, son of late Nawab of Pataudi and former Indian cricket captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and actress Sharmila Tagore, sealed his relationship with Ms Kareena, 32, at his residence in suburban Bandra through a registered marriage.
“It was a registered marriage with three witnesses — Ms Kareena’s father Randhir Kapoor, her mother Babita and Mr Saif’s mother Sharmila,” marriage Registrar Surekha Ramesh told PTI.
The couple who started dating in 2007, married in the presence of close friends and family this afternoon.
The couple had officially declared their intention to tie the knot in the beginning of 2012 after the release of their film ‘Agent Vinod’ in March.
Mr Randhir and his elder daughter Karisma later waved to the waiting fans and media from the balcony of the house.
Ms Kareena wore a green salwar-kurta with a heavy embellished red dupatta wrapped around her. She teamed it up with minimal jewelry, red bangles and left her hair open.
Mr Saif, simply dressed in a grey kurta and white pajamas, came out with his new wife to greet fans from his balcony.
There is a buzz that a reception will be held on Wednesday at a city hotel. This will be followed by another reception in Delhi on October 18, and a ceremony at Mr Saif’s ancestral Pataudi Palace in Haryana.
Although Mr Saif and Ms Kareena had maintained silence on their much awaited wedding, it was Mr Saif’s mother Ms Sharmila who came out with the October wedding date.
Mr Saif and Ms Kareena featured together for the first time in the 2008 movie ‘Tashan’, followed by ‘Kurbaan’ They were last seen in Khan’s home production ‘Agent Vinod’ in March this year.
The actor duo, popularly called ‘Saifeena’, have appeared in several advertisements also.
Ms Sharmila had converted to Islam after her marriage to Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. Earlier during an event, when asked if she would convert to Islam, Ms Kareena had said, “It is a very personal question and I cannot answer it.”
After the death of his father, Mr Saif was anointed the new Nawab of Pataudi.

Dear Sir,
Hindu known for its high standards,rich culture and it is a parer liked by intellectual.The standard & value must remain as it is. It must not be diluted.Same thing has to be transferred to the next generations.One can take it as an advice/suggestion/warning.
What's with this Mr. and Ms. all over the article? Can't they just be called by thier names? This news is not important at all..
Mr.. Hari, you want to make it easier on your self and your children for the future. One shouldn't confuse the children on following two different religion, thus birth to sometimes atheists. Also, religion is a big part of one's daily activities (practicing believers that is), so its important that both people are on the same page. Especially when it comes to raising children.
Wish you a happy married life
congratulations saif and kareena personally i think kerenna will not change to islam but its her own call......
congrates and wish you both a happy married life.
what was wrong with AMRUTA SING?
Age? If age , then what about his romance with her over last 8 to 10 years? Differences in personal life? . ,. but good educated and cultuered peoples are expected to solve those between themselves especially after romancing for a decade toghter and having 2 kids.
Hasn't he deprived Amruta of life partner's company (for no fault of her except trusting him over last so many years) ? can saif say with confidence that kareena wont leave him after 10 years when saif would be older and kareena middle age?
Congrats Saif & Kareena. wish you a happy married life.
I don't think this news is of any importance.
There are so many other marriages happening on the earth.
It is better that news papers show some real and important news to the people rather
than marriages,gossips of film actors......
No need for this--this is not news and we are not interested. If you want to publish
this, call yourself a film gossip magazine and join the TOI.
Sickness needs a name--and hope this is not you.
Who marries whom is not for public information.
congratulations saif and kareena.......
may you both have a very happy married life......:)

Is this the best news a prestigious news paper can give to its world-wide readers? The editor seems more interested in the attire of the duo. "Ms Kareena wore a green salwar-kurta with a heavy embellished red dupatta wrapped around her. She teamed it up with minimal jewelry, red bangles and left her hair open.Mr Saif, simply dressed in a grey kurta and white pajamas, came out with his new wife to greet fans from his balcony"
The news paper has time for all this and not for something at the interest of the nation.
Over the past year I have become quite the fan of Mrs. Kapoors films thanks to a friend. I would like to say congratulations to the husband and wife and hope for a long lasting marriage together.
best of luck to mr and mrs saif
hmm...why should people change religion after marriage ? Just follow your own faith.
Congrats..........love you kareena
