Kareena Kapoor has had a bad equation with her first hero Abhishek and the Bachchans ever since loving sis Karisma's broken engagement.

Kareena has been openly critical about Ash too, who took Karisma's place in the Bachchan home.

But now the Kapoor girl has suddenly decided to rave about the Bachchan bahu.

Bebo apparently can't stop talking about the way Ash has shaped her career after marriage.

Ash has big films in her kitty like Sanjay Leela Bhasali's next with Hrithik Roshan and a movie with Akshay Kumar based on 'Back to the Future', apart from Maniratnam's 'Ravan' with hubby Abhi and Shankar's 'Robot'

This in spite of the fact that she has become very selective about films after marrying Abhishek Bachchan. She turned down Karan Johar's 'Dostana' because she thought the audiences could not see her having affection for Bobby Deol and being overtly friendly with John Abraham when Abhi is a part of the story. She's also become very choosy about the directors and producers she wants to work with.

Kareena has reportedly been following Ash's career and says this is the pattern she would love to follow after her marriage.

So it seems that she's indeed serious about marrying Saif Ali Khan.

Kareena's been saying that she's serious about marriage but it won't happen for another two years as her date diary is full till 2010.

Saif is getting a special apartment ready and it would be complete by then.

The Kapoor lass sure is very clear about her plans! Let's wait and watch.
