Kareena: I want people to accept me in every phase

Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan has revealed that though she was wary about her post pregnancy look, she wants her fans to accept her in all phases.

“I did not know what’s in store for me post pregnancy. I did not know what this phase would be like. I am lot more energetic, happy and content. I work I am multitasking I enjoy everyday,” Kareena said during a ‘Facebook chat’ last evening with celebrity dietitian Rujuta Diwekar.


“Everything has been changing around in the nine months and it takes time to get back (in shape). I remember telling Rujuta that let’s get back to ‘Tashan’ diet (referring to her ‘size zero’ look) and she told me we can’t do it and we need to do it in progression,” the 36-year-old star said.

Actresses are often under scanner for their weight gain post pregnancy and Kareena too was talked about on the social media and called overweight post delivery of her son in December last year.

“How can somebody say I am overweight? We are monitored always. I want people to accept me in every phase,” she said.

According to Rujuta, Kareena’s diet has been sustainable and she is glowing and looking good.

“I have heard one should not have dairy products but Rujuta thinks otherwise. I have been having a glass full of milk, yogurt. I have bajra roti with ghee, jaggery, rice twice a day - morning and night or khichdi. It’s about eating right kind of food and in right proportion, quantity.”

Beside following the diet, Kareena said she walks, which according to her is the best form of an exercise.

“I do walk. At my house if I sit with my son in my arms he cries and so I walk around the house. He wants me to walk. He is keeping me on my toes. He is preparing me for the future, for the days to come,” she said.

From Anupama Parameswaran to Samantha Ruth Prabhu: Why the sexist ‘climber’ label follows women who date successful men

Highlights

  • Successful actresses are often accused of choosing relationships for money or status
  • The ‘gold digger’ and ‘climber’ labels can erase women’s own careers and financial independence
  • Anupama Parameswaran, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sushmita Sen and Malaika Arora have all faced versions of the same narrative
  • Their responses show how female stars are increasingly refusing to accept the assumption that a relationship must have a financial motive

When a successful woman is linked to a wealthier or more powerful man, the question is often not whether she is happy, in love or making an independent choice. Instead, the conversation quickly turns to what she might gain from the relationship.

That is where the word ‘climber’ becomes revealing. It suggests that a woman is using a relationship to move upwards socially, financially or professionally, reducing a personal choice to a calculated transaction. In Indian celebrity culture, the label often appears alongside accusations of being a ‘gold digger’, particularly when a relationship ends.
