Kareena Kapoor Khan on raising sons Taimur and Jeh; says, “It’s important for the boys to know a mother is their father’s equal”

Kareena Kapoor Khan brought about a huge change in the image of Bollywood actresses who were initially considered to be destroying their careers after marriage. Kareena showed the nation that an actress can have a career and a beautiful family life without the two being affected. Recently in an interview, Bebo said that she is inculcating the same values in her sons Taimur Ali Khan and Jeh Ali Khan, that their mother is just as equal as their father.

Kareena told Film Companion in an interview, “Well in the case of Tim and Jeh, I think the idea is that they see me go to work even now. Like when, every time I put on my shoes, Taimur asks, ‘where are you going?’ My answer is ‘I’m going to work or I’m going to shoot or I’m going for an event or I’m going for a meeting because amma has to work’. So, abba works and so does amma. I think growing up looking at the fact that in this house, it’s not just the man who does things, we both do things equally.”

The actress added, “We’re both bringing food to the table, we’re both very clear on the fact that we’re both working as a couple. We’re dependent on each other emotionally, and financially we share. And if my boys grow up knowing that their mother has the capability and demands that kind of respect in her home and gets it. Goes out to work, works hard and comes home so that they can have a good life. I think that’s half the battle won. It’s important for the boys to know that women are equal to men. A mother is their father’s equal.”
