Mumbai: Bollywood couple Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan marked their 14th wedding anniversary on October 16 with affectionate Instagram posts, sharing photographs that captured their relationship, family life and years together. Their exchange of sweet messages offered fans a glimpse into their journey, from romantic moments to memories with their sons, Taimur and Jeh.
Kareena shared a series of photographs highlighting different chapters of their life together, including holidays, personal moments and family time. Alongside the pictures, she wrote, “Another year around the sun Forever to go.”
Saif responded with a playful message in the comments, writing, “I wonder what the moon thinks about all this… Happy anniversary, love!!”
The actor later shared an anniversary post of his own, using a light-hearted sequence of photographs to reveal what he considered the perfect family picture.
The celebrations came just a day before the couple’s scheduled joint appearance on Season 5 of The Great Indian Kapil Show, set to stream on Netflix on October 17. Their anniversary posts and the upcoming television appearance have brought renewed attention to the couple’s relationship and their life away from the screen.
Saif’s playful anniversary post wins attention
Saif’s anniversary post followed a simple but affectionate format. The first slide showed him standing alone, accompanied by the caption, “Almost perfect, but something is missing…”
The next two slides revealed the missing elements: Kareena and their sons, Taimur and Jeh.
Sharing the family photographs, Saif wrote, “There we go, that’s perfect!!! Happy anniversary, love…”
The post offered a humorous take on family life, with the actor suggesting that the picture was complete only when his wife and children were alongside him.
Kareena’s post, meanwhile, looked back at their years together through a collection of photographs. Her message, “Another year around the sun Forever to go,” expressed her affection for Saif while marking the milestone.
The exchange reflected the couple’s familiar mix of romance and humour, with both choosing personal photographs and short messages rather than elaborate anniversary statements.
Kareena and Saif’s 14-year marriage
Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan married in Mumbai on October 16, 2012, after dating for around five years. The two actors grew close while working together on Vijay Krishna Acharya’s film Tashan, which was released in 2008.
Their relationship attracted considerable attention because both were established names in Hindi cinema. Despite the public interest, the couple kept their registered marriage private and held the ceremony at Saif’s residence in Bandra.
The wedding was followed by traditional celebrations, including a sangeet, a nikah and a reception attended by family members and people from the film industry.
Over the years, Kareena and Saif have continued to balance their professional commitments with family life. Their relationship has remained a regular subject of public interest, particularly because of their candid comments about parenting, marriage and everyday routines.
The couple welcomed their first son, Taimur, in December 2016 and their second son, Jeh, in February 2021. Both children have occasionally appeared in their parents’ social media posts, although Kareena and Saif also share moments from their own lives as a couple.
Their anniversary photographs included glimpses of these family years, offering a reminder of how their relationship has evolved since their wedding.
A bedtime ritual becomes a talking point
The anniversary celebrations also coincided with the couple’s upcoming appearance on Season 5 of The Great Indian Kapil Show. During the episode, they reportedly discussed their marriage, home life and some of their everyday habits.
Host Kapil Sharma complimented the couple on looking youthful despite being married for nearly 14 years. The conversation then turned to Kareena’s bedtime routine.
Saif revealed that Kareena rubs ghee on her feet before going to sleep. Kareena explained that the routine helps her relax.
“The sleep that follows…” she said while describing how well she sleeps after the practice.
Saif then offered his own humorous interpretation of the ritual, joking that the smell makes their house resemble a roadside dhaba at night.
The exchange brought a light-hearted moment to the conversation, with the couple discussing a domestic habit in the playful manner that viewers often associate with celebrity interviews.
The episode is also expected to give audiences a chance to see the two actors together in a format centred on conversation and humour rather than film promotion alone.
Saif makes his Instagram debut
The anniversary posts followed another recent social media development involving Saif. The actor reportedly made his Instagram debut earlier in October, with Kareena as his only follow at the time of his debut.
The move attracted attention from fans who have followed the couple’s public appearances and social media updates over the years.
Kareena has regularly shared photographs from her professional commitments, holidays and family life. Saif’s arrival on the platform offers another channel through which fans may see his perspective on their life together.
His anniversary post, with its playful captions and family photographs, provided an early example of the personal moments he chose to share.
The couple’s posts also highlighted how social media has become an important platform for celebrities to mark personal milestones directly with their audiences.
Kareena and Saif’s recent films
Alongside their family life, both actors continue to be associated with film projects.
Kareena was most recently seen in Daayra, directed by Meghna Gulzar. The film marks her first on-screen collaboration with Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran. Set against the world of crime and justice, it features Prithviraj as a police inspector, while Kareena plays a character central to the film’s narrative.
Saif was recently seen in Haiwan, a neo-noir crime thriller co-written and directed by Priyadarshan. The film is a remake of the director’s 2016 Malayalam movie Oppam. Its cast also includes Akshay Kumar, Boman Irani, Shriya Pilgaonkar and Saiyami Kher.
The actors’ professional commitments have continued alongside their family responsibilities, with the couple often discussing how they manage their schedules and time with their children.
A milestone marked with humour and affection
Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan’s 14th wedding anniversary was marked by photographs, affectionate messages and the humour that has become part of their public exchanges.
While Kareena looked back at their journey through a collection of memories, Saif used a playful series of images to show that his idea of a perfect picture included his wife and children.
Their upcoming appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show adds another occasion for audiences to see the couple together, this time discussing their marriage and home life.
Fourteen years after their wedding, the anniversary posts offered a warm glimpse into a relationship that has continued through changing careers, parenthood and life in the public eye.
