New Delhi, Oct 20: 'Saif Ali Khan' and 'Kareena Kapoor' are up for "grabs" for a whopping Rs. 4 lakh (Rs 400,000). Not the celebratory couple, but a pair of goats being sold at old Delhi's Jama Masjid bazar ahead of Eid-ul-Azha . Interestingly, both the two-year-old goats are males!





Weighing 200 kg each, the five feet tall goats belong to the popular Mewati breed and can be bought individually as well for Rs 2.5 lakh each.

"After Saif and Kareena got married (on Tuesday), we decided to pair these two goats. It is a much better deal if someone buys them together," their owner, Idris, told IANS.

Hailing from Amroha in Uttar Pradesh the goats daily consume over a kilo of jowar, around three to four kilos of fresh green leaves and grass and three litres of milk to maintain their stout structure, Idris said.

However, the star of the show is a goat - also with a price tag of Rs.4 lakh - that has on its back a natural pattern that reads like 'Allah'. This has ensured special treatment for it.

Unlike hundreds of its counterparts that were tied to a rope and crammed in tents as they jostled for space to sit on the dusty ground, the 'divine' goat was seated on a clean cot with a green sheet covering his back.
