Sharmila Tagore and her daughter-in-law Kareena Kapoor Khan are the coolest saas-bahu in Bollywood. And this is not only a postulate as the proof lays in the new 10-minute interview which Kareena has conducted in the new season of her talk show What Women Want.
One can see the comfort-level between the two women as Kareena gets down to asking some really tough questions such as who is Sharmila’s favourite child among her three children and which grandchild she likes the most.
The veteran actress being more experienced dodges the googlies but she did have a special word for Saif Ali Khan’s second-born Ibrahim, who she thinks looks like a true nawab. She further goes on to add that she is lucky to have grandchildren who are both grownups (Sara and Ibrahim Ali Khan) and little children (Taimur Ali Khan and Inaaya Naumi Kemmu).
With her tongue firmly in her cheek, Sharmilaji says she hopes that Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma would soon have their child so that the media’s focus may shift away from Taimur who has become a “rage” in the media.
The Amar Prem actress also revealed the key to a successful relationship with one’s daughter-in-law which is that the mother within the mother-in-law shouldn’t show off about all the accrued knowledge that she has about her son just to make the daughter-in-law feel inadequate.
Talking about the interview, the veteran actress is in awe of the host and her daughter-in-law. “Kareena is a pleasure to have in the family. She has blended in without losing her individuality. I remember when Pataudi passed away, Kareena’s birthday was the day after his death. But she was just there with the family, not drawing any attention to herself. I think that’s when I realized she was truly a part of our family.”
