Gone are the days when women used to be confined within the four walls of the house post marriage. It’s the 21st century and women are capable of being absolutely independent. They also know how to balance their personal and professional life without either of them getting hampered. We have a number of such women in Bollywood and Kareena Kapoor Khan is one of them.
We all know Kareena belongs to the famous Kapoor khandaan who has been a part of the industry since decades now. During an interaction with Elle magazine, Kareena was asked about building a legacy to which she said, “Becoming an actor had nothing to do with my family. It was my passion. Contributing to the Kapoor legacy was important, but it was never expected that I had to do it. I wanted to do it.”
Talking about her son, Taimur Ali Khan, Bebo said, “And my son, who knows whether he is going to be an actor or a sportsman? He might even want to be a chef. Whatever it is, Saif (Ali Khan, husband) and I are going to encourage him, because no child can flourish without support.”
Bebo is hoping to inspire a number of women. “I’m a working mother, and I’ve always been a working wife. I hope women understand the importance of finding the right balance—dividing your time between family, work and friends. I hope women take inspiration from what I’m trying to do,” she said.
Kareena also had something to say about the future. She said, “I hope to become a better actor and continue to be a good wife. But above all, I hope that years from now, I can look back and say that I’ve been a very decent mum.”
Kareena also shared the changes she’d want to make today for a better tomorrow. “I want to encourage parents to not put too much pressure on their children. It doesn’t always have to be a case where they need to score 98 per cent and get a PhD. I want my child to be a good person, with strong values – and to be true to himself. That’s most important,” concluded the actress.
We hope all the parents are taking a note of what Kareena has said above. And Bebo, thank you for conveying this.
