The Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena located on the Athenian Acropolis in Greece, has clearly played a unique role in the couple’s memory book. This historical location, iconic for its grandeur and architectural beauty, serves as the backdrop for both time-stamped photos. It stands as a metaphor for the consistency and timelessness of Saif and Kareena’s love story.
Among their many shared interests, travel seems to be a prominent theme. The couple, along with their children Taimur and Jeh, are known for prioritizing family vacations and have explored various parts of the world together. For their past summer holidays, the family spent an entire month touring different locales in Europe, further reinforcing their bond through shared experiences.

On this special day, Kareena didn’t stop with just a post in her main feed. She also took to her Instagram stories to announce some exciting news related to Saif.
