Ria Lawrence (MID-DAY; September 20, 2016)

It's no surprise how Kareena Kapoor Khan has been breaking stereotypes for a while. Proudly flaunting her baby bump at various events and shoots, the actress doesn’t seem to mind being in the public eye, unlike most other celebs. Due to deliver her first child in December, Kareena says she has no plans of taking an extensive break or lying low. Instead, she plans to be up and running in about three months after her bundle of joy arrives. She says, “I am shooting bits of Veere Di Wedding next month and the rest of it in April. So, I will be back in three-four months. I have been telling my managers this is the only film that I really want to do and have been excited about since Udta Punjab and Ki & Ka. It’s not your typical movie.” Kareena adds that the film’s producer, Rhea Kapoor was “always in the loop” about her planning a baby. “I told Rhea way before I (actually) got pregnant. All she said was ‘I don’t care, it doesn’t stop me from making the film (with you)’. It’s good to see people who have the backbone and gumption to believe in a project and see it through.” The actress celebrates her 36th birthday tomorrow. Quiz her about her plans for the big day and she says, “It is special this time round, but I have no wishes or plans as such. It has never been about parties or extensive getaways; it has always been about (spending the day with) family and close friends.”
