Mumbai, Jan 29: Ending weeks of speculations of her marrying Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor said that wedding bells would have to wait for over five years before they start to ring.

“Shaadi mein to abhi 5-6 saal hain" said Bebo told media persons today.

The actress, who was earlier involved with Shahid Kapoor, has however made no secrets of her relationship with Chote Nawab.

The love that blossomed on the sets of their upcoming film ‘Tashan’ matured into an affair to watch out for when the Prince of Pataudi decided to wear his heart on his sleeve. The famous tattoo "Kareena" on Saif’s arm was followed by a dazzling diamond ring on Bebo’s ring finger, sparking rumours that the two were engaged.

Our sources tell us that it is her mother Babita, who is holding Kareena back from making any commitments.

Bebo, who unlike Saif, had been keeping mum about the affection she felt for him, finally decided to put a full stop on wild gossip of her marrying the star. For Saif, its his third serious affair after ex-wife Amrita and Italian girlfriend Rosa.

The actress also apparently had a day-long tiff with her new beau for his proclaiming his proposal so publicly. But there are no cracks in the relationship, as they as 'what doesn't break you makes you stronger'. Only that Saif has some waiting to do before he gets his lady love.
