Candid Kareena

Kareena Kapoor says she may marry boyfriend Saif Ali Khan in 2012 and would want to have ‘two girls’.

Actress Kareena Kapoor has put to rests all speculations about her marriage. In a surprise admission she says she will tie the knot with beau Saif Ali Khan in a specified number of years. "Two is a good number," says the actress in her very first interview to GQ India, adding that she would also want a specified number of babies of a specified gender, "two girls".

Kareena has become the only Indian woman to be featured on the cover of the magazine in its January 2010 issue that hit the stands yesterday. Popstar Beyonce Knowles is the only other woman to have featured on the cover, but that was picked from their international edition.

In the interview, Kareena admits that she never lets her guard down. Strangers are not allowed to get to know her, she says. However, she was attracted to Saif for all the reasons you might expect. “Saif comes from a very cultured background; he is a man of the world. And he’s seen so much of life; he’s got his head very firmly on his shoulders. I can connect with this guy. He has a good sense of humour; a charming man with a lot of culture. He always liked me on screen. He said I was someone he always wanted to meet,” says the actress.

According to Kareena, her closest friends were fixed in childhood, and the men she has encountered have rarely been brave enough to attempt picking her up. “Maybe I give out a little vibe, like: ‘Don’t come near me, and touch me not.’” Does she think men are intimidated by her? “I have a feeling they are, yes,” she says.
