Kareena Kapoor once revealed husband Saif Ali Khan picks up on her lingo: ‘Words like guts, mess…the whole world is talking like that'
Kareena Kapoor Khan often steals hearts and keeps the Internet buzzing with her candid, bare-faced selfies, snippets of European vacations, and designer ensembles. Kareena, who has inspired a generation with her roles like Poo from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Geet from Jab We Met, one said that the way talks has caught on not only with Gen-z, but also her husband, actor Saif Ali Khan. In a 2022 interview with Pinkvilla, Kareena sat down for a rapid-fire round on all things beauty, food, and Gen Z speak. When asked what the most Kareena thing Saif has adapted is, the Crew actor revealed it's her unique vocabulary. 'I think my lingo. Words like guts, mess…the whole world is talking like that. It's become Gen Z lingo. Suddenly, everyone is like 'guts' and 'mess' and I'm like, I want credit for all!' she told the interviewer. Rima Bhandekar, psychologist at Mpower Aditya Birla Education Trust, told that when two people spend a long time together, their way of talking often starts to match. This happens naturally through something called mirroring, where people subconsciously copy each other's manner, words, and even body language. This happens because of the way our brains are built—to connect and bond with each other. 'Mirroring each other helps make being together feel easier and more in sync, so there are fewer miscommunication issues, and creates a sync between the couple – a sense of 'we' instead of 'me.' These small changes can turn into habits, especially when they lead to warm responses like smiles, laughter, or heartfelt talks,' she explained. According to Bhandekar, the timeline for similar communication styles to happen varies. 'For some, changes take place within a few months. For others, it could take longer. But in most long-term partnerships, it's common to see a pattern of shared phrases, inside jokes, and similar expressions become part of the couple's everyday vibe,' she said. A post shared by Kareena Kapoor Khan (@kareenakapoorkhan) Despite popular romantic notions of love, relationships take work, effort, and healthy habits and practices. Apart from noticing and appreciating the good in your partner, there are other behaviours and habits, too, which can significantly improve your love life. Irfan Fayaz, Doctoral Research Fellow at Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences, believes that a relationship is healthy when both partners mutually support each other emotionally, physically, and mentally while maintaining open and honest communication, trust, respect, expressing appreciation for each other, expressing empathy, and importantly valuing each other's vulnerabilities. Besides mirroring, developing daily habits that strengthen your romantic relationship can help maintain a strong and healthy bond with your partner. Make time for each other: Carve out dedicated time to spend with your partner daily, even if it's just for a few minutes. Show appreciation: Express gratitude for your partner's efforts and contributions to the relationship. This could be as simple as saying 'thank you' or 'I love you.' Communicate regularly: Practise open and honest communication regularly, sharing your thoughts, feelings, and needs with each other. Practice active listening: Listen attentively to your partner and try to understand their perspective, without interrupting or judging.

Kareena Calls Her Equation With Bhansali ‘Love And War', Tells Vicky 'We're Always Fluctuating'
Last Updated: Kareena Kapoor jokingly described her relationship with Sanjay Leela Bhansali as 'love and war' while chatting with Vicky Kaushal. Kareena Kapoor Khan opened up about her complex rapport with acclaimed filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali. In a chat with Vicky Kaushal on The Hollywood Reporter, the actress gave a humorous yet revealing insight into their off-screen dynamic, calling it 'love and war', ironically the title of Bhansali's next film, which stars Vicky himself. During a video interview for The Hollywood Reporter, Kareena and Vicky were discussing the much-hyped film Love & War, which will bring Vicky, Ranbir Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt together on screen. Sharing her thoughts on Vicky working with the celebrated director, Kareena said, 'I am waiting to see you in the Bhansali film. Of course, he is the Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and Love and War is actually me and Sanjay. You can tell him that. He will understand. We have love and war." Amused by her description, Vicky asked whether their relationship is currently in the 'love" phase or the 'war" phase. Kareena chuckled and said, 'We are always fluctuating," earning laughter from Vicky and fans alike. Despite having never done a film together, Kareena and Bhansali share a history of near-collaborations. She was initially cast in Devdas, but was later replaced by Aishwarya Rai after creative differences. Years later, she was again in talks for Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela but opted out and reportedly chose Gori Tere Pyaar Mein instead. Deepika Padukone ended up playing Leela, and the film went on to become a major success. Given their dramatic ups and downs, fans often wonder if the duo will ever finally collaborate. For now, Kareena's comments have only added fuel to that fire. As for Love & War, the film will mark Bhansali's return to an epic romantic narrative. It reunites him with Ranbir Kapoor after Saawariya, while Alia and Vicky round out the powerful cast. First Published:
