She is among the most popular and successful, not to forget glamorous, working moms in the country and the Bollywood. The one to flip the script and surprise her fans and the skeptics equally, Kareena Kapoor Khan believes that one should embrace himself completely. “I believe that’s how every woman should be, whether it is at professional or personal front,” she said. In a conversation with members of the FICCI FLO, Amritsar, on Wednesday in a web session titled ‘Flip the Script’, moderated by Manjot Dhillon, chairperson, FICCI FLO, Amritsar, Kareena got candid about motherhood, giving birth during the pandemic and her upcoming book

on pregnancy.

The book titled ‘Kareena Kapoor’s Pregnancy Bible’ will be out in May-June this year. “It is my most special assignment as I have never talked about this topic in such depth. The book is a good idea as no Indian actor has ever written about pregnancy and what it comes with. It will be a candid book about mood swings, nutrition, exercise, periods and post-delivery stress,” she said. During these difficult times, I think the best we all can do is to be ourselves and help each other.”

Sharing her anxiety over going through childbirth during pandemic, she said it was the most challenging time for her. “And I feel that it is challenging for everyone else. The most horrific and tragic aspect of the pandemic is that there are people who do not have food on their palette. What’s happening in Delhi and every other epicenter of Covid-19 is distressing. But there are also stories of resilience, people coming out to help each other. “She said her time with her family during the lockdown has made her realise how children are one of the worst affected due to the pandemic. “Children cannot express themselves like grown-ups. With online school now happening for a year, the age where they needed to go out in the sunshine, make friends, learn, they are forced to confine indoors.”

Taking about her love for Amritsar, Kareena, who was here last year during the unlock to shoot for the movie ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, said she loves Amritsari food. “Whenever I am in Amritsar, I freak out on food. I am not into fancy cuisine, I love simple desi, ghar ka khana. Also, I really love Gurbani and we listen to it every morning at our home too.”
