No one besides Saif and Bebo are allowed to touch it. Not even the makeup guys on the sets of his films can get anywhere near his arm. He prefers to keep everyone at an arm's length literally.
Dalit look
A source from the unit of Aarakshan says, "Saif required a lot of preparation every day on location. A lot of makeup had to go into making him look 'normal' in the part of a Dalit.
But when it came to his tattoo, he wouldn't allow anyone to touch it. He would do the makeup over the tattoo himself."
Not just that, throughout the shoot in Bhopal, he would mail his look for the shooting to Kareena on his phone.
Seek approval
Says the source, "Every morning he would click himself and send his photo to her. Only after she approved would he go ahead with the shoot."
Amidst ongoing buzz of a rift, sources state that after the brief trip to Paris recently, the couple is determined to tie the knot next year.
