‘If you have a child, doesn’t mean you’re homebound’

Just over few months after giving birth to her son, Taimur Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan (right) will be back to work in April.

Talking about multi-tasking post-motherhood, the actor said she can easily see herself balancing her work and family. “People thought that I wouldn’t, and I did. I am going to continue to do that. I think women know how to multitask. Today, you see working women out there. If you have a child... It doesn’t mean you are homebound. Of course, there is time for that and work.”

The 36-year-old actor maintained her style quotient during her pregnancy, and continued to be active at endorsement-related events and social gatherings. “It was just something I wanted to do. It was something I believed in, that I have nothing to hide. When I got married, it was the most beautiful phase. Pregnancy was the most normal thing that was going to happen and giving birth to a child is as normal as ever. I want life to go on,” she said.

“I am taking each day as it comes,” Kareena added further. Having said that, she agrees “parenthood comes with a lot of responsibility”. “Both Saif and me are ready for this (responsibility).”

On the work front, Kareena is prepping for the upcoming film Veere Di Wedding, which also stars actors Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhaskar.

“We are going to start the work in April,” she said, adding that she has also begun her workout regime. For the next two months, she wants to get into shape before she starts working on the film.
