Saif was looking handsome in gray kurta and white pajama while luxurious yellowish-black sunglasses were adding conspicuous glory to his persona.
Kareena was dressed up in green salwar-kurta with an embroidered red dupatta swathed around her. With this the open hair, red bangles and light jewelry was reflecting the illustration of an archetypal Indian bride.
