In an interview with PTI, Kareena had talked about her life choices, and had stated, “As a person, I am very comfortable in my space. I have always been content with the choices I made in my career as well as my personal life. I was never aspiring to be someone. I was always working and will keep working towards being the better version of me.”

Over the years, Kareena has proved her acting prowess and evolved as an artist. Recently, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, the actress got candid about her career, and shared, “All this is so exciting because last year, and after Taimur’s birth, I did a different kind of film, which was Veere Di Wedding (VDW); I dabbled with radio, and I’m open to any kind of platform that is creative.” (Also Read: Is 'Navya' Fame, Somya Seth A Single Mother Now?

She further added, “In a two-decade-long career, one has to keep exploring and not just get stuck in a zone doing the commercial kind of films because cinema has also moved ahead. Both Saif and I have tried different avenues. He did Sacred Games [on an OTT platform] and I did radio, so I think, hopefully, as a couple, the idea is also to keep evolving.”

Kareena, who has defied all norms, opened up about the time when she has been tagged as a ‘comeback heroine’, and stated, “When VDW was releasing, everyone tagged it as a comeback [for me] but I don’t think I really went anywhere; I just gave birth. And this idea of saying that an actress has made a comeback is quite derogatory to women because giving birth doesn’t mean that one has to take a sabbatical. It’s the most natural and beautiful thing to happen.” (You May Also Like: Neeti Mohan Pandya Flaunts Her Solitaire Engagement Ring Given By Her Husband, Nihaar Pandya)

She also talked about how people label actresses, and said, “It’s very sad if people still think that way, but films like VDW, and actresses doing different parts like how Deepika [Padukone] is right now — it’s about taking up brave roles and having the courage to do it. And I think I’m probably the only actress to be lucky to have struck a balance as I am working with Akshay now and teaming up with Karan again.”

In an episode of her radio show, What Women Wants, Kareena had opened up about the people, who shame celeb moms. She had shared an incident where she was trolled, and had said, “I have to address one thing… recently I got trolled on a photo where I was getting into a private jet… and the trolling was about how apparently, I’m a careless mother who’s letting my kid be brought up by nannies.” She gave a befitting reply to all, and had said, “To you judgemental folks who know nothing about my life, please note that there’s a finger I’m showing you in my mind right now.” (Don't Miss: Sanjay Dutt Feels 'A Lot Has Gone Past, People Have Matured' On Working With Madhuri Dixit In Kalank)
