WHEN SAIF ALI KHAN MET KAREENA

'Tashan' was a flop, but it is still actor Saif Ali Khan's favourite film because it brought girlfriend Kareena Kapoor into his life.
"It was great fun making 'Tashan' and something really positive came out of it. I met Kareena during 'Tashan'. That's enough for me," Saif told us in an interview. Starring Saif, Kareena, Akshay Kumar and Anil Kapoor, the film fell flat at the box office.

The actor also admits that he wants to spend as much time with his girlfriend as possible. He said: "Look, she's shooting in Australia and I had two months off. So obviously I'd go to visit her. Or if she's doing an event in Andheri and I can join her, I will."

Wagging tongues don't bother Saif who is gearing up for his next release 'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic'.

"I know people will talk about it. I don't care. Every relationship goes through a period of consolidation. We've been together for nine months. We both know how much we mean to each other."

Excerpts from an interview:

Q: Disheartened by the failure of "Tashan"?

A: Not at all! I liked the script. The role didn't end up the way I thought it would. It was edited quite a lot. As Aditya Chopra explained to me it was for the betterment of the film. But, yeah, it was a disappointment. I won't pretend about that.

Q: 'Race' was a hit, but it was a terrible film.

A: Who cares what you think about it? It ran, and I was frowning throughout. A superhit, that's nice; I enjoyed the wheel dealer plot.

Q: Were you convinced?

A: Well...it has taken me a long time to get to the position of the main lead. And the man responsible for this in many ways is Aditya who gave me 'Hum Tum' and 'Salaam Namaste'. I've always trusted his judgment.

Q: But Akshay Kumar had all the punchy dialogues.

A: You win some, you lose some. I knew he had a stronger part. Our roles turned out different from what it was expected to. I really believed in the idea, and we all stood by it. Now let's see. It was great fun making the film and something really positive came out of it.

Q: What's that?

A: I met Kareena during 'Tashan'. That's enough for me.

Q: You do want to spend as much time with Kareena as possible?

A: Obviously. Look, she's shooting in Australia and I had two months off. So obviously, I'd go to visit her. Or if she's doing an event in Andheri and I can join her, I will. I know people will talk about it. I don't care. Every relationship goes through a period of consolidation. We've been together for nine months. We both know how much we mean to each other.

Q: Why are you frowning so much in public these days?

A: Am I? If you're talking about the promos of 'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic', that's a frowning role.

Q: Is it because of the prying eyes?

A No, one should get comfortable with public attention. I'll make an effort to look happier. I am happy. I've so much to look forward to. I'm doing so well professionally. I've a great personal life. I guess I'm just a frowning guy. I must stop that.

Q: You're moody, that's all.

A: I guess I am. I can't help it
