Kareena Kapoor had taken a bold decision of going by her heart and marrying Nawab of Pataudi, Saif Ali Khan, while she was at the peak of her career. Many had advised her to take her time and think about her decision but Bebo had listened to her heart and added ‘Khan’ to her surname on October 16, 2012, in a simple ceremony and became Begum of Pataudi. After tying the knot with Saif, Bebo had always preferred to work and maintained her position at the box office. Post her marriage, Kareena was advised to give the thought of motherhood a back seat for few years, but she chooses to go by her heart and had welcomed her little wonder, Taimur Ali Khan on December 20, 2016.
Kareena Kapoor Khan is a perfect exemplar for all the newbie mommies, who join back their work post delivering their child. She has been beautifully juggling between her work commitments and taking care of little, Tim. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Kareena revealed what all hate comments she receives and how she deals with them. She stated, “I shouldn’t get married, I shouldn’t become a mother. Even comments today.. They’re like ‘oh, why is she working, she should be with Taimur or why is she doing this, he should be with him.. I mean who does all this and who says all this? Nobody knows my equation with him. I think, as a working woman, if my child knows his mother is a working woman, his respect for women will grow tenfold. I want to make a man of him, I want him to know that. He should know both his parents have worked really hard to give him a life and he should respect that.” (Suggested Read: Mira Rajput Kapoor Finally Follows Her Calling, All Set To Start Her New Venture As An Entrepreneur)
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan’s little munchkin, Taimur Ali Khan is one of the cutest celeb kids on the block. He became an overnight internet sensation when his first picture had gone viral on the internet. Whenever Taimur steps out of his house, he is stalked by paps and his friendly and adorable gestures at his ‘mediawalla friends’ makes him one of the most papped and clicked star kid. During the same interview, Kareena talked about her and Saif’s reaction to paparazzi constantly trying to click Taimur. She was quoted as saying, “He tries to keep cool and calm. He requests them to give him his space and that’s the only thing he can do, being a public figure. I don’t want him to grow up in a way where I’m covering my child’s face. I think that would scar him even more. He would be ‘Why are you doing this?’ That’s not normal.”
Little wonder, Taimur Ali Khan has learned to say ‘No Photos’, talking about the same, Kareena revealed, “Of course (it affects). Even if we want to take pictures, Taimur sometimes says ‘No photos’. He has learnt to say that. He’s constantly being watched, and he realises he’s being clicked now. This culture has been there for a while now and nobody is asking anyone not to do their job. But we are just asking for a little space because they are children and we want them to grow up in an environment which is safe and secure, where they can be the way they want to be.”
In October 2019, Kareena Kapoor Khan had headed off to Melbourne, Australia to unveil the trophies of the Women’s T20 World Cup, which had taken place on November 1, 2019. Post the unveiling, during a Q&A event when Kareena was asked if marriage and childbirth came with insecurities related to work, she had replied, “No. But there was pressure not to get married because it’s feared that actresses after marriage don't work. Their careers are over. And after a baby more so. People told me that my career was practically over. But for me, that didn't matter. I've done so much work since. Also, I balance my time with family. I'm particular about that time and about being around. It's a side of me that I can't run away from. It’s something that I want. Work is there for sure. But, my family base has always been strong.” (Do Read: Akanksha Puri Apologised To Parag Tyagi Over Beau, Paras Chhabra's Comment On His Wife, Shefali)
