Kareena Kapoor got candid about the challenges of balancing motherhood and a bustling career as she revealed her elder son Taimur's heartfelt complaints about her frequent work trips to Delhi and Dubai.
The Crew actress who became UNICEF's new National Ambassador, shared the importance of teaching children to respect their working parents.
Kareena stated, "I feel that boys who see not just their father, but also their mothers work, have some sort of respect for the fact that I can also be busy."
She added, "Today they had a holiday and wanted me to be home but I told them I have to go to work. Taimur was like, 'You are always going to Delhi and Dubai for work, I want to be with you'. I told him that work is important too and I promise to come back and give you more time so that he doesn't feel neglected in any way."
The Jaane Jaan starlet discussed that her children will respect the fact that their father "[Abba] goes to work and comes home and the same goes for their Amma [mother]."
Referring to her eldest son Taimur, Kareena shared, "He understands the equality factor that both my parents are working. That somehow allows a lot of space for respect."
She further noted, "I want him to grow up knowing that we are equals in this house."
Kareena Kapoor married Saif Ali Khan in Mumbai on October 16, 2012, and they share two sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan.
