Bollywood actress, Kareena Kapoor is loved for her extraordinary on-screen presence and stunning personality. She has never shied from revealing various anecdotes about her personal and professional life. Once again, she opened up about the biggest taboo which was in the industry earlier, for women, was marriage. She also added about work-life balance and many more. For the unversed, Kareena is married to Bollywood actor, Saif Ali Khan and they are parents to two beautiful sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan.
In an interview with Harper's Bazaar India, Kareena Kapoor Khan was asked if Bollywood's perspective on actresses' marital status is finally changing or not. To this, she mentioned that earlier marriage was the biggest taboo for any female actor. However, over time, things are changing, and now directors are also willing to take the risk. She said:
“I think so. You have to wear your age proudly. Today, women have become brave. For female actors, the biggest taboo was to get married... but now your marital status doesn't affect your career. Filmmakers are now taking risks and willing to work on off-beat scripts, and give different people a chance. In the end, it is all about feeling and looking confident.”

In the same conversation, Kareena also opened up about maintaining the work-life balance as a working mother. She shared that nowadays, celebrities have their opinion in saying no to various things. In addition, she mentioned how much she loves to spend time with her family and shared:
“I don’t think there is a formula to achieving work-life balance, there’s no secret to it. It is up to you to decide what you will or won't do. I want to be able to say no to the things that I don’t want to do, because I don't feel like leaving my kids alone or because I don't want to be seen at some awards show. I want to be able to choose — because I'd rather sit at home with my husband and watch a show or have a glass of wine. That’s one of the biggest changes I have gone through, personally. It is up to me to strike a work-life balance.”
On March 8, 2023, Kareena took to her IG handle and shared cuteys pictures from her sons, Taimur and Jehangir's Holi celebration.
