Kareena Kapoor recently shared that she was told that her career would end after marriage. However, she has worked more after getting married and having kids.
Kareena Kapoor has played a crucial role in breaking stereotypes for actresses in Bollywood. Apart from her impressive acting performances, she always had a distinct style, honest approach to work and confidence in her choices. Through that belief she has broken a lot of myths through a career. However, the path wasn't easy for the actress as she had to deal with many judgments for her decisions. In a new interview, Kareena revealed how she has believed in herself and changed the tide every time.
Kareena Kapoor is celebrating her 25 years in the Hindi film industry. On the important occasion, she sat down for an interview with Fever FM and shared how she went against the tide. During the conversation, Kareena explained that she is a little similar to her iconic character of 'Poo' from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and 'Geet' from Jab We Met as she always listed to her heart. She was quoted as saying:
"Poo and Geet were so lovable. That's why people believed that's me; she was as true as anyone. Poo was so confident even while walking with two different shoes… saying that it was couture! Geet was also someone who loved herself, loved life… who didn't think that if I run away, what would happen."
Kareena recalled that people advised her against marrying early because they thought it would end her acting career. Despite the noise, the actress went ahead and got married to the love of her life, Saif Ali Khan, on October 16, 2012. Later, the actress welcomed her sons, Taimur, in 2016 and Jeh, in 2021. Kareena shared that she has rather worked more after becoming a wife and a mother as she believed in herself. In her words:
"In some way, I am a little bit like that because I have also done what I want in my life. People like to see that connectivity… People were like, 'Don't get married! Your career will be over!' I was like, 'Okay, if my career is over, so be it!' I have worked more after marriage! After having children! So I think it is about taking up the challenge, believing in yourself and going against the tide."
A few weeks ago, Kareena sat down for an interview with The Week and revealed that she was in a difficult phase of life when Saif came along. Marriage, one of the most important aspects of a person's life, changed her for the good. The actress, who will soon celebrate her 12th anniversary, shared that she has become more responsible and relaxed after tying the knot with Saif Ali Khan. She said:
"Marriage has changed me for the better. I am more responsible. We feed off each other. We are like, 'If he grounds me, I ground him'. If I am going a little crazy, he will always tell me and vice versa."
On the work front, Kareena was last seen in the film, Crew. Recently, her 2023 suspense-thriller film, The Buckingham Murders was released in India. The actress will next be seen in Rohit Shetty's Singham Again, co-starring Ajay Devgn, Arjun Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, and more.
