Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan had always flaunted his ‘Kareena’ tattoo on his left arm to express his love towards his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor. But recently the actor had to hide it and make it invisible for the shooting of his upcoming movie ‘Agent Vinod’.

Recently the actor was caught amidst false news that he had removed the tattoo from his arm, with the help of laser surgery. But a representative of Saif had clarified that he did not get the tattoo permanently removed.

A crew member of the movie ‘Agent Vinod’ had said that Saif needed to camouflage the tattoo as it was visible in some of the close up shots of the movie. So the ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ actor preferred to cover it up with make up.

It was mutually decided by Saif and director Shriram that they would be hiding the tattoo. When asked Saif he said that it wasn’t a big deal to hide the tattoo. The actor added that it wasn’t a tedious job and many actors do the same abroad. Saif also revealed that he just used some foundation and powder to cover the tattoo. Getting the ‘Kareena’ tattoo permanently removed is directly proportionate to break up with Kareena Kapoor.
