From taking up films like Chameli at the start of her career, going on a size-zero spree, talking her heart out in chat shows and working till the last trimester of her pregnancy — Kareena Kapoor Khan has always chosen her own personal or professional path. Now that she has become a mother, she says work is her priority, but family is very important too.
As her son Taimur Ali Khan will witness his first Diwali this year, she was asked about how she plans not to miss the occasion keeping in mind her shooting schedule for Veere Di Wedding. Kapoor Khan said: “We will be finishing our Delhi schedule a few days before Diwali, so I will be spending time with my family. Work is a priority but family is very important to me.”
Taimur was born to Kapoor Khan and her actor husband Saif Ali Khan in December last year.
The star, who considers Taimur the most amazing and cutest child, says he loves hanging out with the family.
“I’m sure [he] will enjoy the family gatherings. Apart from getting him goodies and gifts for the season, I would love to play dress-up with him and get him into the most adorable traditional outfits,” the actress said.
“Also, he is a fan of Indian sweets. So, I am sure he would have a fun time trying the very many festive specialities,” said Kapoor Khan.
Festive season tends to be a time for over-indulging in sweets and savouries.
“I eat everything and enjoy them, but then I make it a point to not miss my workout. I drink lots of water and eat in moderation. Also, I think everyone has become conscious of changing times and has inculcated a responsible sense in us,” said the actress.
Kapoor Khan, who has many successful films to her credit including Jab We Met, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Omkara, is also considered one of Bollywood’s most beautiful stars.
Asked about her make-up and skincare regime for the festive season, she said: “Festivals come around a confused season when it’s still hot and humid, but also dry and scaly. So, prepping my skin and giving it the moisturisation and nourishment it needs is very important.”
“Also, I am a big foodie, but the aftermath of the yummy, oily delicacies just scares me. So, I follow a three-step prep regime to prevent my skin from breaking — hydrate, nurture and exercise,” she said.
She also says she is a huge fan of dark, smokey eyes.
“Smokey eyes, bold bright lips and dewy skin are my favourite go-to looks,” she added.
“Kohl is my all-time favourite. I absolutely love sporting a bold, red lip,” she said.
