But while shooting an ad with Imtiaz Ali in Chandigarh two days prior to mom's birthday Kareena suddenly decided to make April 20 a special day for her mom.
Quickly wrapping up her work in Chandigarh she rushed back to Mumbai, postponed her and Saif's trip to New York by a day to arrange a small family get-together over dinner at her swanky new place in Bandra.
Says Kareena, "It was just family for my Mom. That's the way she likes it. That's the way I wanted it to be. Yes, my dad was there too. And of course Saif. He's very much part of the family."
Reluctant to reveal any more detail about the magical evening, Kareena says, "My mom is my world. I'd do anything with her. Postponing mine and Saif's trip to NY was nothing. What did I give my mom? My time and my love. That's all she wants."
Incidentally, Saif had the cozy gathering on Monday night in splits with his jokes anecdotes and mimicry.
Seeing him blend with the Kapoors at Kareena's mom's birthday, it is easy to see Saif is now the unofficial son-in-law of the family.
