Saif-Kareena marriage in October, says Sharmila

The Bollywood wedding of the year would take place in October in Delhi and Mumbai with no sideshows in Pataudi or Bhopal. 'Saifeena'- wedding of Saif Ali Khan and Kareeena Kapoor, would be a low-key affair with limited invitees said the groom's mother Sharmila Tagore, here on Tuesday.

"D-day is on October, sometime. I am not at a liberty to disclose the date. You'd have to ask Saif," she told TOI.

She related the hype surrounding the wedding to happy family serial. "You'd be disappointed. No extravagant celebrations are planned. It would be a small family affair," she said. The restraint on celebrations is because the wedding would be held nearly a month after the first death anniversary of Saif's father - Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi.

Sharmila said Pataudi wasn't chosen as a venue because of security considerations.

Sources said that that the wedding may take place on October 16.

Sharmila was in Bhopal attending the board meeting of the royal waqf properties called the Auqaf-i-Shahi, of which her daughter Saba Sultan is the custodian.
