Kareena also explained that being a working woman you are also helping your child understand the women better and the importance of work she loves the most. She said, “I think your child will grow up realising, respecting and understanding a woman so much more that when she goes out to work and comes back home, she is still happy. Even though she could be tired, but she is still happy because she is doing what she loves the most.” She concluded the talk show by saying, “Be happy, believe in yourself and I think your child will automatically flourish.”

Nobody else can dictate my choices.” (You May Also Like: Tusshar Kapoor Reveals Why He Finds It Odd To Call Newborn Ravie Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor's Son)

You have to work.’ I have to tell him, I have to be with you also sometimes alone (laughs)”. (Don't Miss: Ranveer Singh Sends Kisses To Deepika Padukone On A Video Call While Promoting 'Gully Boy')
