Bollywood superstar Kareena Kapoor Khan recently offered an intimate glimpse into her life as a working mother—and the small tensions brewing at home. In a candid chat with Vicky Kaushal, she revealed how her career commitments have begun to test her sons’ patience, especially after her husband’s sudden absence due to filming.
Kareena Kapoor Khan reveals why her sons Taimur and Jeh are irritated with her work schedule: “When I’m shooting for ads, 10–15 days a month…”
In a conversation hosted by The Hollywood Reporter India, Vicky asked Kareena how her children handle her being away for shoots.
“It gets tough. This year, Saif went out and shot for two films, so they were used to Mumma being home. Now, if I go to shoot—like for a couple of days, when I’m shooting for ads, 10–15 days a month—they’re constantly irritated. They’re always like, ‘Where is Amma?’,” Kareena said.
Clearly, the kids had grown accustomed to Mumma’s presence. When Kareena had a similar workload—advertising commitments that pulled her away for extended stretches—Taimur and Jeh struggled to understand her absence. It’s a relatable scenario for many working families, albeit with a Bollywood twist.
Kareena then shed light on how her husband, actor Saif Ali Khan, has become the fun parent in her stead, “They love it when Saif is there, because Saif is such a lovely father, and he is a hands-on father. Also, they get extra TV time when he is around. My elder one loves to play guitar and drums with Saif. When I am not around, they always get extra TV time. The father always spoils them; otherwise, I am always like ‘Go to bed’,” she added.
Kareena doesn’t sugarcoat it—she’s the bedtime enforcer, while Saif plays dad the kids adore. More screen time, more play, fewer sleep reminders—a contrast that Taimur and Jeh clearly prefer on days when Mumma is absent.
Despite occasional toddler tantrums, Kareena’s commitment to both career and family remains unwavering. Her transparency reinforces that even Bollywood’s brightest faces pause when family calls—and sometimes miss their mum.
Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan got married in 2012. Fondly known as ‘Saifeena’ by their fans, the couple first crossed paths while working on the film Tashan in 2008, and their bond quickly turned romantic. They became parents to their first son, Taimur Ali Khan, in 2016, followed by the birth of their second son, Jehangir Ali Khan (Jeh), in 2021.
On the work front, Kareena Kapoor is set to team up with Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran for the first time in Daayra. The film, directed by Meghna Gulzar, will tackle intense themes of crime and justice while shedding light on pressing and disturbing social issues. Currently in pre-production, the project is co-written by Meghna Gulzar, Yash Keswani, and Sima Agarwal.
