Koffee With Karan 8: Sharmila Tagore On Daughter-In-Law Kareena Kapoor - "She Is So Direct And Clear"

"She always keeps a wonderful table," said Sharmila Tagore

As Sharmila Tagore and son Saif Ali Khan sipped coffee on Karan Johar's chat show Koffee With Karan 8, they extensively talked about family and films. And of course, Saif Ali Khan's wife and superstar Kareena Kapoor was name-checked on the episode. More than name-checked actually. The show's host Karan Johar asked Sharmila Tagore, "Did you feel like the second time around, like Kareena is also a movie star, that you had invested so many emotions in his first wife, how was it to readjust and recalibrate?"

Without much ado, Sharmila Tagore answered, "I had known Kareena earlier. Meaning I had met her earlier and she had been very nice to me. She is lovely and she is what she is. She was with us when Tiger was ill and she was with us when he passed away."

The veteran actress recalled an incident, when she got to know that Saif and Kareena were living together. "I had friends over, lots of people from Delhi. These two came and were sitting there. I casually said, What's happening. She (Kareena) said, when Saif woke up in the morning, he told me this...Giving the impression that they are living together. This is Delhi and these are my friends of my age," Sharmila Tagore said recalling the incident. She added, "She said it so naturally, that when I even think about it I sort of laugh. So simple and sorted she is. She is so direct and very clear."
