Secret Wedding........

No Secret Wedding says Saif as he rubbished reports of his secret ‘Nikaah’(wedding) with Kareena . But then why this Mona Lisa smile Bebo dear?

Speaking with TV news channel CNN-IBN, Saif quoted, 'We are not married, we are not engaged, we don't live together'.

Media reports Thursday claimed the couple had the last laugh, giving the paparazzi the slip, by tying the knot away from prying eyes. Saif however spoke to CNN-IBN to clear the air, and said that he and Kareena are most intent on pursuing their careers for the moment.

Reports Thursday spoke of the purported manner in which 'the secret wedding' was a lot like Saif's first wedding with Amrita Singh, which was also conducted in secrecy.

News of the secret wedding shook Bollywood buzz factories, three months into the relationship of Saif, 37, and Kareena, 27.

Reports quoting reliable sources claimed a quiet nikaah ceremony was conducted in the presence of a maulvi in Saif's new house Laview Patni, in Bandra Wednesday. Saif's astrologer Pandit Suvashitraj was also quoted agreeing that he has heard news of the couple being solemnised with a formal exchange of rings.Reports claimed: 'The ceremony took place at 12.30 pm. This is what is known as vachan vivaah', quoting Saif's astrologer.

Industry sources close to Kareena were also quoted confirming the nikaah and even said that Saif gifted Kareena a BMW.

Pandit ji is quoted as saying that the Kapoor khaandaan feels she should concentrate on her career as a lot of plum offers are coming her way, 'and that she should put her marriage on hold for now'.

Meanwhile, Saif's mother Sharmila Tagore feigned ignorance, and said she had no idea about the secret wedding. 'When he married Amrita Singh, he didn't inform. I don't think he would do the same thing again,' she's quoted as saying.

The Kareena-Saif jodi has been scorching rumours for a few months now. After her break-up with boyfriend-for-four-years, Shahid Kapur, Saif and Bebo have been spotted together at numerous hot spots in Mumbai and Delhi.
Saif and Kareena reportedly became close while shooting for their upcoming film Tashan, setting rumour mills abuzz with their link-up.Her ex, Shahid was away shooting in Canada,when Kareena got drawn to the senior actor on the sets of Tashan, say reports. Shahid was apparently unaware of all that was going on behind his back, even though all was not well with that relationship

Among scoop reports, in one incident earlier at a party at Imperial Hotel in Delhi, a photographer managed to click Saif and Kareena cosying up. But the hawk-eyed Kareena swooped down on the hapless lensman and snatched his camera, before going on to delete the pictures with the help of Usman (Amrita Arora's boyfriend).

Saif and Kareena made their relationship public for the first time at Manish Malhotra's grand finale show at the Lakme Fashion Week Spring-Summer '07. "Yes, we are not exactly shouting from the rooftops, but yes, clearly we are together. And we are happy together," the Chote Nawab had said then.

The couple, soon after the Manish Malhotra appearance, flew out to Greece for the shooting of Tashan - a day before the crew left - with apparent plans to spend some quality time together.Just before their Greece trip, reports also spoke of Kareena making a discreet trip to Bangkok to meet Saif, who was shooting there for Kunal Kohli's upcoming film.

At the Praikrama gig, Saif admitted his tattoo for the first time. About the love mark, Saif said, 'Yes, I've tattooed her name. It's on my forearm. And very visible to the world.'

…………….Spot the Tattoo!!!!!!!!

Close friends say: 'There's a kind of fierce and single-minded determination in Saif to make this relationship work for keeps. And it isn't a defiant determination to disprove the cynics who say it won't last. Saif doesn't give a damn about what people say. He has always gone by his gut feelings, regardless of others.

People close to the couple add, 'Earlier, after Rosa left, there were whispers of Saif being involved with various ladies. Saif doesn't like the image of the Casanova at all. He thinks he's too grown upfor it. He wants stability in his life and a relationship that's for keeps. He believes he has found it in Kareena. Come what may, Saif will make this relationship work.'

Earlier, when the couple were together in Bangkok shooting for Kunal Kohli's film, Saif's co-star Rani Mukerji was privy to many sessions of his outpourings on his love.

Kareena and Saif then brought in the New Year in Hong Kong with Saif's two children.

At another recent function, as Kareena unveiled an issue of Filmfare, she was seen sporting a huge diamond solitaire on her left hand, which led to a lot of speculation of her engagement to Saif Ali Khan.

Close friends of the couple have kept rumours mills spinning with constant denials as well. One source even claimed that the couple is not intent on getting married for the next five years.A friend clarified, "Bebo always had the ring and had been wearing it for some time now. And Kareena is in the best phase of her career and has exciting projects on hand.'

The close friend of the couple goes ahead to say, 'She has no intention of getting married for the next five years. Both Saif and Kareena are enjoying and focusing on their respective career and have no intention of settling soon'.

So now the eternal question…. Did they or did they Knot?????

Well as always we will keep you posted so stay tuned!!!!!
