MUMBAI: Kareena Kapoor has had a bad equation with her first hero Abhishek and the Bachchans ever since loving sister Karishma’s broken engagement. Kareena has been openly critical about Aishwarya too, who took Karishma’s place in the Bachchan home. But now the Kapoor girl has suddenly decided to rave about the Bachchan daughter-in-law.

Kareen apparently can’t stop talking about the way Ash has shaped her career after marriage.

Ash has big films in her kitty like Sanjay Leela Bhasali’s next with Hrithik Roshan and a movie with Akshay Kumar based on Back to the Future, apart from Maniratnam’s Ravan with husband Abhi and Shankar’s Robot.

Kareena has reportedly been following Ash’s career and says this is the pattern she would love to follow after her marriage. So it seems that she’s indeed serious about marrying Saif Ali Khan. Kareena’s been saying that she’s serious about marriage but it won’t happen for another two years as her date diary is full till 2010.
