Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, co-owners of Tigers Of Kolkata in the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL), participated in a press conference during the opening ceremony held in Mumbai. A video from the press meet went viral, capturing a journalist asking Kareena if she had ever played cricket.
Saif Ali Khan was quick to respond, “Of course, she’s a Pataudi.” To this Kareena, smiled, and stated, “Khelne mein aur dekhne ka maza alag-alag hota hai. Main audience hoon to Saif can be the player (The fun in playing and being a spectator is different. So, I am the audience and Saif can be the player).”
It’s really lovely how Saifu supports her ❤️ 🧿#KareenaKapoor #SaifAliKhan #ISPL #tigersofkolkata #saifeena pic.twitter.com/kVoT6d0pHn
