Kareena lashes out at media for publicising her pregnancy

NEW DELHI: As soon as Saif Ali Khan confirmed his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan’s pregnancy, the news spread like wildfire with loads of speculations associated to it; but looks like the would be-mommy is disappointed with the news.

According to Hindustan Times report, being irritated by the news and the speculations, the 35-year-old actress said, “I’m pregnant, not a corpse. And what maternity break? It’s the most normal thing on earth to produce a child. It is high time the media back off, and stop treating me any different than I ever was. Anybody who is bothered shouldn’t work with me… but my work goes on as is, like always. Stop making it a national casualty.”

“We are in 2016, not in the 1800s. Probably, even at that time, people were way more civilised and normal than the way the media is behaving and speculating now,” she continued.

“I’m just fed-up of people making it (her pregnancy) to be a death of some sort. In fact, it should be a message to a lot of people that marriage or having a family has absolutely nothing to do with my career,” she added.

For the unversed, it was reported that the ‘Ki and Ka’ actress, who is due in December, will complete the shoot of her next ‘Veer DI Wedding’ with Sonam Kapoor and also the shoots for some magazine covers by October before she goes on maternity leave.

Apparently, Bebo is currently associated with over 18 brands and is planning to shoot for the campaigns in the upcoming months.

In this regard, she said, “It is great… they will love me for what I stand for, what I represent, and my talent.”

Meanwhile, Kareena were spotted yesterday with her baby bump and pregnant glow at the Mumbai airport with hubby Saif, while returning from their Eid vacation in Pataudi.
