I’m pregnant, not a corpse : Kareena

Soon after her actorhusband Saif Ali Khan confirmed Kareena Kapoor Khan’s pregnancy, reports of her taking a maternity break started. It was reported that Kareena, who is due in December, will complete the shooting of her film and some magazine covers by October, before she goes on maternity leave. But Kareena is disappointed with these reports. “I’m pregnant, not a corpse. And what maternity break? It’s the most normal thing on earth to produce a child. It is high time the media backs off, and stops treating me any different than I ever was. Anybody who is bothered shouldn’t work with me... but my work goes on as is, like always. Stop making it a national casualty. We are in 2016, not in the 1800s. Probably, even at that time, people were way more civilised and normal than the way the media is behaving and speculating now,” says Kareena, adding, “I’m just fed-up of people making it (her pregnancy) to be a death of some sort. In fact, it should be a message to a lot of people that marriage or having a family has absolutely nothing to do with my career.”

Kareena who has over 18 brand endorsement deals, will shoot for the campaigns in the upcoming months.
