Kareena Kapoor Khan Lashes Out At Mira Rajput's Comments On Motherhood!

Shahid Kapoor’s wife, Mira Rajput had irked most working women out there. At a time when we are all struggling to break free and live our lives on our own terms, Mira made an extremely regressive remark on motherhood. On the eve of Women’s Day, the star wife said:

"I wouldn’t want to spend one hour with Misha and then rush off to work. Why did I have her? Misha is not a puppy. I want to be there for her”.

While most of the women, especially working mothers, were really disappointed by the statement, some said that it was directed at Shahid’s ex-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Kareena has been making some bold statements. She slayed pregnancy in style. Not only did she go out and party when she was pregnant, she was also working even a few days prior to her delivery. She continues to be blunt and fierce like always even now after the birth of her child, Taimur. She chooses to live her life as she pleases! She was seen stepping out of the house for a dinner with her husband barely after 7 days of her delivery. She resumed work soon after her delivery. Recently, she was also seen performing at the Zee Cine Awards, barely 3 months after Taimur was born!

But finally Kareena has decided to speak about her pregnancy and Taimur. In an interview with Bombay Times, the actress made many statements. While she did not name anyone, everything she said looked like a befitting reply to Mira’s commentary on motherhood. This is what she has to say:

Yes, I was on my feet a few days after the delivery, but it's upsetting to have people judge you for it. No one has the right to comment on how I conduct myself or what sort of a mother I am. Everyone seems to have an opinion. Postpartum depression is not a must, right? It's whimsical to generalise that every woman goes through that phase, almost making it sound like a norm. Every pregnancy and every mother's journey with her child during those nine months and afterwards is different. You can't draw parallels. No one out there really knows me or what I am feeling at a given time. How can anyone decide on my behalf whether I am supposed to feel depressed or if I can step out before 45 days? If I'm spoken about like that, what would it be like for other women?

She also emphasised on how many stories are circulated about her and that she has learnt with the pressure of being constantly judged.

Just because I'm elusive and my husband and I are not on social media talking about our emotions on an hourly basis, people take the liberty to put out stories about my child and me. It was annoying to read reports about my fitness regimen and the way I'm losing weight. As a couple, we don't share details of our lives with the world at large. So, I will not clarify what we do, how I plan to lose weight or what I do with my baby. I enjoyed my pregnancy and I will enjoy my life on my terms. What kind of a mother I am is something that will unfold with time. I will not scream from rooftops about experiencing motherhood or how much I love Taimur. There's always the pressure of being judged, no matter what you do. It's about how you deal with it.

Wow! Kudos Bebo. You’re truly an inspiration!
