‘Used To Eat 5-10 Paranthas A Day’: When Kareena Kapoor Revealed Gaining 20 Kgs During First Pregnancy!

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan is not just a great artiste but a fashion icon too. She sets style goals every time she steps out of her abode. After her first pregnancy, Kareena gained a lot of weight. But even that could not stop her in giving inspiration to millions in terms of fashion. Here’s a throwback to when Kareena talked openly about her weight gain after delivering her first child.

In a 2019 Rediff interview, Kareena talked about gaining 20 kilos overweight during her first pregnancy. She also told that the doctor asked her not to overeat as she used to gorge on around 5-10 paranthas in a day at that time.

Kareena said that she was generally a hypochondriac, so she used to ask 100 questions from her doctor. One day, her doctor told her to not ask much and just to relax. It was a first-time pregnancy and Kareena’s sister (Karisma Kapoor) was just a phone call away. So, she would guide her. When Kareena’s doctor asked her to come and weigh herself, she came out to be 20 kilos overweight. Her doctor then advised her to not overeat as it would lead to acidity. Kareena said that she tried to follow instructions from her doctor for six months and then it went downhill.

The actress then went on to reveal that when she was shooting for ‘Good Newwz’, she donned a prosthetic swimsuit with a belly under her clothes and it looked quite natural with a belly button. By this time, she had forgotten what it was like to be pregnant.  Speaking about the same, Kareena disclosed, “This was a pregnancy without paranthas, that was a pregnancy with paranthas! I used to eat 5 to 10 paranthas a day. Now, I eat one.”

For the unversed, Kareena Kapoor Khan married Saif Ali Khan in 2012. The couple welcomed their firstborn, Taimur Ali Khan in 2016 and their second child, Jehangir Ali Khan aka Jeh in 2021.
