Kareena Kapoor Khan is one of the hottest mommies in the Bollywood industry. The diva has nurtured two babies and has also written a book on her experiences during pregnancy too. In an exclusive chat, the yummy-mummy of Taimur Ali Khan Jeh Ali Khan talked at length about how different her two sons are and how is she as a mother.
Kareena says she wants to be a chilled-out mom and doesn’t want to get overinvolved in her children’s life. “I don’t want to be like a helicopter mom. I want them to fall and learn because that’s the way my mother taught me. My mother was like, do what you want, make your mistakes and then learn to repair them because that’s the way it works. So that’s the way I am parenting both the boys. Jeh, of course, is small, but Tim is now much more aware. I am like if he does something wrong, you clear up your mess. That’s the only way they learn.”
Talking about her decision of keeping Jeh away from the media and Paps, the gorgeous actress says “It was so overwhelming with Taimur… there was so much chatter: what’s going on, what have they named him, then… Taimur has gone here, Tim is doing that. It was so much that both Saif and I felt that this time, we must chill out. They’re just kids at the end of the day. So we haven’t released any pictures of Jeh yet, even though Tim happily waves for the camera.
In her book, she has also addressed some untouched topics that society usually doesn’t give notice to. She feels that it is important to talk about sexual urging. Kareena has written in the book, “It’s possible that a woman doesn’t feel the need for sex, does not feel the urge, or doesn’t even feel that she likes herself at that point of time during pregnancy,” says Kareena. “This is what women go through before childbirth. People are not used to seeing mainstream actors talking about these things. But then, they are not used to seeing mainstream actors pregnant either.”
Kareena is currently enjoying all the praises coming her way for the book she has written on her experiences during pregnancy. Her newborn is just six months old. Both her sons Tim (short for Taimur) and Jeh (short for Jehangir) got criticized for their names by some Hindu bigots.
