She did all her best films after marriage. More recently Aishwarya Rai Bachchan too has stuck a perfect balance between home and studio."

Kareena kapoor also added: "I know once I get married I'd like to devote myself completely to that. When it comes to my emotions I'm not a multi-tasker. So at the moment, specially after Kambakkht Ishq, I need to work. "These are the best years of my working life. And Saif Ali Khan is with me, neither of us are running away from a full commitment to one another. So no marriage for another three years."
