If there is one word to describe the incredibly sassy Kareena Kapoor Khan, it has to be ‘trendsetter.’ She is not one to shy away from taking risk or trying something new. Hence, it was no surprise when she turned size-zero during her Tashan days, then she slayed her pregnancy like a boss and now has shed off the extra kilos and looks fitter than ever.
In an interview with Vogue magazine, on whose cover she is posing, she talked about her size-zero days and her current transformation. “I don’t know how the size-zero thing started—but I was only 27 and I wanted to do it for a role. It looked amazing, but that was then. I’ve been in the business for a long time since, and I’m more mature—now, it’s about being fit. I’m definitely comfortable in my skin right now.”
She further spoke about her healthy dieting and workout regime. Bebo said, “I’ve never been fat, but I’m a Punjabi girl; I like my food. I ate well when I was pregnant—sometimes too well. I’d put away six parathas, and eat white butter. But I avoided all processed foods and kept myself super active. Two months after Taimur was born, I started working out, first with light workouts, then to cardio, yoga and Pilates a few times a week.”
On the work front, Kareena is all set to appear in Veere Di Wedding, which is directed by Shashanka Ghosh and also stars Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker, Shikha Talsania and Sumeet Vyas.
While many are labelling Veere Di Wedding as Kareena’s comeback film, Kareena on this said, “I’m hesitant to call Veere Di Wedding a comeback film because I never really went away. I’m fortunate enough to still get plenty of great scripts to read, but when Rhea (Kapoor) came to me with this film, I was excited at the prospect of working on a film that is produced by women and stars four strong women.”
In the same interview, Kareena was also asked about her parenting style when it comes to son Taimur Ali Khan. Kareena joked that her approach is different from Saif Ali Khan’s. “Saif is quite English in his approach. I’m quite the Punjabi; I’m always cuddling my son. Saif has to tell me off for squeezing him till he can barely breathe! But he’s only one and I want to enjoy this as much as I can. It’s important for us to create a happy atmosphere in which Taimur can thrive. Obviously, as a working mum, I want to make sure we raise a happy and independent child.”
In a seperate interview, Saif also shed some light on his wife and her parenting styles. He spoke about how much he has been enjoying watching his wife transforming over the years and said, “I love that she’s such a committed, concerned mother. She’s always been a very loving person, but having Taimur has just brought a different love and warmth to her. When she carries Taimur, he looks so much like her; he’s an extension of her.”
