Now that’s what you call a caring husband. The Nawab of Pataudi and actor Saif Ali Khan seldom loses his cool. This time round, things appeared to have gone out of hand. He is tired of journalists asking questions about when his wife, Kareena Kapoor, will become a mother.

Last week, when one pen-pusher got on his nerves, the chhote nawab replied, “It is disturbing to see how often women in the industry get asked about when are they getting married or having kids.” He inferred that it came from a ‘mindset’ pressuring them to say goodbye to work and not appreciate that they’re still working.

Hmm … so no kids right now?
