Kareena Kapoor has opened up about marriage and parenthood in a candid interview.
Khan, who married Saif Ali Khan over a decade ago in a new cover interview with The Dirty Magazine opened up about marriage and parenthood and spoke about wanting ‘to live her life in front of her kids’ Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan without any pressure, and taking care of her ‘mental health first’.
“The reason you get married now is that you want to have a child, right? I mean today otherwise you can just live together. We [Saif Ali Khan and I] lived together for five years, so when we took the next step, it was because we wanted to have children,” Kareena told the magazine.
Kareena said her approach to parenting is simple – ‘There is no right or wrong way’. Further speaking about parenthood, Kareena said, “We treat them (the kids) as individuals, we respect them, and we just let them be. They will figure it out, they will find their own path. Kids are quite resilient, you know… I want to live my life in front of my kids, I want to do everything with them. We have to be happy na, then they will flourish. I’m responsible for my own mental health first.”
Kareena and Saif married in October 2012 in Mumbai, after a few years of dating. He was earlier married to actor Amrita Singh. They parted ways in 2004. Saif and Amrita have two children Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan. Saif and Kareena have two sons – Taimur Ali Khan (born in 2016) and Jehangir Ali Khan (born in 2021).
On the work front, Khan starred in director Hansal Mehta’s film ‘The Buckingham Murders’ and will be seen alongside Tabu, Kriti Sanon and Diljit Dosanjh in the movie ‘The Crew’ which will release on March 22, 2024.
