Bollywood’s diva, Kareena Kapoor Khan is not just an amazing actress, but a hands-on mom, who loves spending time with her babies, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan. However, Kareena is quite aware of the fact that her kids are constantly under the glares of the media and she is pretty chilled out about the same.
In the times, when celebs are sceptical about their kids being papped or their photos being circulated on social media, Kareena is never bothered about the same. The actress has come to terms with the fact that being a public figure, her kids will get the same attention as she does. In a conversation with the Hindustan Times, Kareena opened up about the constant attention of the media towards her kids.

The Jab We Met actress opened up about her thoughts on the same and shared why she let paparazzi take her kids, Taimur and Jeh’s pictures. Calling it mutual respect, Kareena stated:
“We are very open, both Saif (Ali Khan, husband) and me. We as parents have never really hid anything from the media too. My children are photographed because we believe if I give respect, I will get respect. I can’t ask for it, or beg for it. But if I am going to be equal with everybody around me, they will respect our privacy. And honestly, it has worked.”
Though Kareena doesn’t mind paps clicking Taimur and Jeh’s pictures, she also tells them to respect the kid’s privacy when they are at school or with their friends, to which they agree. The stunning actress is quite active on social media too and loves posting glimpses of her family. Revealing the reason behind the same, Kareena shared:
“I give respect to my fans on Instagram, I let you into my life, maybe not a 100 percent. I make everybody feel involved in my life, and that’s something why my fans are still so involved.”

In the same conversation, Kareena quipped that her priorities have changed post-embracing motherhood as she is 70 per cent a mother now and 30 per cent an actor. In her words:
“I am very hands on, I like to do everything, I am a 24/7 mom. That’s what I have been most of my life, then an actor. I would say I am 70 percent a mother now, 30 percent actor. I do have to follow and do things I love doing as well, like spread awareness about topics such as inculcating reading habits in children.”
On the professional front, Kareena Kapoor will be next seen in Rhea Kapoor’s upcoming film, The Crew.
