Taimur will learn to respect women as he is growing up around working women: Kareena Kapoor

Taimur will learn to respect women as he is growing up around working women: Kareena Kapoor

The actor shares that life as a working mother has been 'amazing'
16 Aug, 2017

Kareena Kapoor is back in the game post pregnancy and people are taking notice - especially fashion labels.

The Bollywood actor has signed to be the face of high street Indian label Anita Dogra and after getting back on the bandwagon, she feels she represents the 'woman of today'. In an interview with Vogue India, Kareena gets candid about working post motherhood.

"I'm a mother now and I'm working so you know the fact is, I represent the woman of today. And that's the way I think most of my fans see me as the girl that is casual yet stylish, yet the working woman of today. That, is key and I cater to that—I do. That's why you’ll never really see me dressed over-the-top," says the actor.

And so far life as a working mother has been a smooth transition. "I think it is amazing. After having a good day at work, I am waiting to see my son [at] home. It's quality over quantity. Some can stay at home all day but the idea is to keep the focus going, whatever it is you are doing at the time."

"If you like what you do at work it's even better. Acting is my passion and if I go to work, I feel like a more enriched mother. Women multitask the best."

When it comes to mothers returning to work, Kareena feels they "need love and nurturing."

"You definitely need support from your husband who is working but you have to balance things. You just have to learn to do things," she adds.

Talking about the change motherhood has brought in her, the Udta Punjab actor says, "It is an amazing experience. There's a part of me and Saif in the world and he is my responsibility and I am going to be showing and teaching him new things."

And Taimur is already learning to be around working women at a young age, explains the new mom.

"Taimur is going to grow up with a working mom. My sister, his masi is also a working woman. He has my mother to look up to, my mother-in-law who is still [a] working woman," says Kareena.

"So, he is going to grow up in that atmosphere and learn to respect women in that sense. He also has a wonderful nanny, again another working woman who looks after him so he will be growing up seeing the power of women from as early as seven months old."

Taimur should also be taught that the natural roles of women and men should NEVER be reversed. Respecting both men and women is important, not just women. And what is this 'Working women' phenomenon? Aren't those who bring up their kids at home working women? Hope Taimur does not get a screwed up value system while being brought up.

Do girls respect men ?? I wonder why women want special treatment instead of equality and similar rights.

Kareena Kpoor, Hopefully this is your and your legally married husband legal child though you also work as Indira Gandhi worked otherwise Indira Gandhi was very open and his driver had stories to tell, which you will find in femtsoft.com or hardsofts.com, shortly In Sha ALLLAH, but be patient.

At times the effect is totally opposite. boys who see all the women around them working outside of home get sick of them and want a girl who is more domesticated and quiet. Plus women who work at home are also working women ! just that there interaction with men is limited to a great extent

@Ashwin both men and women should respect each other and each other's rights to freedom of choice and freedom of thought

@Humaira Men who want "domesticated" girls are decreasing in number there is no better life than having a partner who is intelligent smart and financially independent for both spouses having a financially independent spouse and developing a friendship for life is just the best experience

@Humaira when boys see women role models in home as financially independent, capable, decisive women with their own individuality then they learn to see other women in the same way. They are less likely to see them as inferior to men
