Mystery deepens: Has Kareena called off her October wedding?

By Hindustan Times

Mom says the marriage date is fixed. Son says it isn't. Sister says she's clueless. And now some tabloid sources have revealed that it is the bride who's behind all this drama. Yes, you guessed it right. We're talking about Saif-Kareena's wedding. Let's explore all of the angles of this 'family drama':

LATEST TWIST WITHIN THE TALE
Kareena Kapoor has reportedly decided to delay the marriage to join up some meaty projects. Mumbai Mirror reported: "IN LINE WITH sources, the actress, whose Heroine is about to release on her birthday, September 21, believes she is at her career-peak. She has signed on a couple of other big banner projects, one among them with younger Imran Khan and she or he isn't prepared to concede any ground to her rivals who're hot at her heels."

"Especially after Bhansali's biting remark that "no married heroine" can also be his Juliet, Kareena and Saif decided, it was better to concentrate on her career presently. In fact, sources just about the couple say they were concerned that the marriage may alter the standard of projects offered to her. And Saif, being the knowledge partner that he is, didn't want her to compromise," a source told the tabloid.

Saif Ali Khan is at the same page as Kareena. He's also giving preference to his career now post the success of Cocktail.

NON-COMMITAL SAIF
The actor told Mid Day, “I can’t confirm the date at this time. Probably a few months down the line, I'D speak to you about it. Presently it’s only Cocktail, and that i wish to keep my professional and private life separate.”

In an interview to HT he had said: “I haven’t fixed a date for my wedding! I’m yet to fulfill Kareena’s parents to deal with the date ... the venue may be not finalised,” says the actor, maintaining the most obvious: It’s going to be a year-end wedding.”

The denial had come soon after Sharmila announced the marriage date. We wonder, why Saif and Sharmila didn't discuss upfront concerning the announcement.

CLUELESS SOHA
When asked about her brother's wedding date, that is what Soha needed to say: "I'M quite confused myself. I DO KNOW it's happening with the folks in question, but they haven't set the date or mentioned it," Soha told a regular recently, adding, "I FEEL it's happening imminently."

Interestingly, it was Soha, who had let the cat out of the bag last year. She had said: “They (Saif and Kareena) has been together for quite a while now and their relationship has grown. I WILL BE ABLE TO hardly watch for the marriage next year. There'll be quite a lot of functions and i'm very thinking about what to wear.”

THE ANNOUCEMENT
Confirming that Saif will wed Kareena on October 16, Sharmila Tagore had said: "Yes, that is the date we've decided upon. There'll be a reception, too, but not an overly big one."

After the reports of Saif denying the October 16 wedding emerged, Sharmila said in an interview to Mid-Day that her busy son must take out time from his shooting schedules because the date have been finalised by her once and for all, and there’s no getting away. She said it was a ’warning’ for him.
