Saif Ali Khan lucky to have me in his life: Kareena Kapoor

Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor Khan brought the curtains down at the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015 showcasing ace designer Gaurav Gupta's line on Sunday. Reacting to the compliments she received at the event, she said that her husband, Saif Ali Khan, surely is a "lucky man" to have her in his life.

When asked how Saif reacts to the compliments that she receives, Kareena said, "I think it's the biggest compliment for Saif. He is a lucky man for sure."

It was the first time that Kareena and Gaurav collaborated for a fashion show. The 34-year-old actor looked her stunning best as she walked down the ramp wearing a black flowing sheer gown, a piece from the designer's collection, which was in tandem with Lakme's Sculpt line. Kareena, whose outfit was a playful juxtaposition of Gaurav's signature drapes and structure, said she loves working with new designers like him.

"It's very interesting to collaborate with new designers every time during the finale. I admire the novelty and quirk that new designers like Gaurav bring to the table. I think the fashion industry needs such creative minds," Kareena said. Keeping with the theme of the show, the designs, which were all women's wear, consisted of sculpting with fabric as well as on stage.

A huge installation of a lady was set up in the middle of the circular stage. Models one-by-one emerged from the small pit inside the statue and spread out on the runway, which also consisted of stairs. The piano and cello added to the tempo of the show as models walked to its rhythm at Mehboob Studio. "It was an exciting pressure to be a finale designer. It is a first for me. We celebrate our decade today and Lakme celebrates its 15 years. The music was very unique because we did a very artistic setting. The clothes are also very sculptural. We kept the music romantic and (such) which fills large spaces in a beautiful way," Gaurav said.

Dune-like textures featured in the garments through boning and silver rivulets and large ruffles swayed through the drapes. The fabrics used were mostly neoprene, tulle, silks and georgettes in colours like gray, black, ivory and red. The show, however, was low on celebrity turn out with only Dia Mirza, Aditi Rao Hydari, Prateik Babbar, Shriya Saran, Zayed Khan in attendance.

Saif Ali Khan opens up about differences with Salman Khan

'Phantom' actor will always look up to Salman

It's a known fact that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is good friends with other two Khans – Shah Rukh and Aamir.

However, one Khan if the actor has been keeping a distance from is Saif Ali Khan.

What's interesting is the fact that Saif's wife Kareena Kapoor Khan is good friends with Salman and has also teamed up with him for many films.

Reasons best known to them, the two popular Khans have been keeping distance and managed to keep it away from media glare as well.

But in a twist of fate, Salman surprised everyone when he extended an invite of 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' screening to Saif recently.

In an interview to Times of Indian Saif says he has known Salman even before he knew Kareena.
And that the relationship he shares with Salman has changed over the years, but there are some aspects of it that will never change.

So was it because of Kareena that Saif was invited for the special screening? When quizzed Saif, who seems to have been emotionally touched by the former's gesture, has been quoted by the publication saying, "I hope not. Salman, I know, would not do anything just for the sake of it. I have known him longer than I have known Kareena. So I would hope that our equation is not dependent on her and I felt very nice about it."

Saif said, "He (Salman) is someone I have known for a very long time and was the No.1 star when I had thought of joining movies. He is someone I just respect and look up to. I will always look up to him for many reasons.

"We have done films and shows together. Over time, there have been some differences that have come up, which him and I best know about and that will always remain between him and me only. He is someone I have worked with, spent a lot of time with and he is someone I greatly admire as a brother. And that will never change."

It was just a month back that we heard Saif had turned down a Salman Khan production film, citing date issues as he is busy with Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Rangoon'.

Since Saif has made it clear that the reason/s for differences between them would stay between them, we can only let it be.
