Saif, who has just wound up filming for Kunal Kohli's next in Bangkok, is very confident about his relationship with Kareena.
"I'm extremely and completely committed. I've found true love and I'd like people to respect that as much as I do," he told IANS.
Kareena is known to be volatile and both she and Khan come with a baggage of failed past relationships, but Saif dismisses concerns that could impact his current relationship with Kareena.
"A lot of people say a lot of things. She's the most wonderful person I know," he says.
Kareena started dating Shahid Kapoor in 2004. The two are believed to have split in August while Shahid was away in Toronto filming for Aziz Mirza's next. Kareena and Saif acknowledged being an item in October at the grand finale of the Lakme Fashion Week.
Saif married actress Amrita Singh in October 1991 but the couple divorced after 13 years of marriage and two children in 2004.
Following his divorce Saif dated Italian Rozza Catalino but the two broke up in 2007.
The 37-year-old Saif is now all set to take his relationship with 27-year-old Kareena to the next level and commit to a life together.
"I'd love that," he says. "Right now our respective work occupies most of our time. It's of paramount importance to both of us. But even if I sound old-fashioned I'd like to say my intentions are honorable
Kareena and Khan co-star in Yash Raj Films' forthcoming Tashan and became close during its filming earlier this year. When tabloids first reported their romantic linkup Kareena, who was still in a publicly acknowledged relationship with Shahid Kapoor, denied the reports contending Saif was just a friends.
Later, when she broke up with Shahid it appeared she had dumped him for Saif.
Saif implicitly acknowledges the problem.
"We do live our lives in the public glare. We're open to people passing judgment on us. I've no problem with that," he says.
"Public perceptions are generally based on incomplete information. I'm not here to clear up those misconceptions. It's enough for me to know I'm doing the right thing."
Saif completed filming for Kunal Kholi's next in Bangkok five days ahead of schedule and he is taking advantage of that by holidaying in Hong Kong, accompanied by daughter Sarah, son Ebrahim and new found love Kareena.
