…son
Jeh
was
born
in
2021.
‘There
was
a
moment
of
like,
“Oh,
my
God.
I
have
to
go
back
and
do
this
all
over
again”.’
‘But
it
was
just
like
for
a
flash
of
a
second.’
‘Then,
it
was
just
like,
“No,
it’s
fine.
I’m
still
looking
fab”.’

Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
wants
to
be
fit
to
take
on
whatever
comes
with
old
age,
so
that
she’s
able
to
work
and
enjoy
family
life
for
as
long
as
possible.
The
44-year-old
actor
was
speaking
at
the
launch
of
her
nutritionist
Rujuta
Diwekar’s
book,The
Commonsense
Diet.
Kareena,
who
shares
sons
Taimur
and
Jeh
with
Saif
Ali
Khan,
said
she
wants
to
be
able
to
go
about
her
daily
life
without
being
dependent
on
‘someone
or
a
stick’.
“Age
is
just
a
number,”
she
said.
“I
want
to
always
be
fit
to
take
on
whatever
old
age
brings.
I
want
to
be
able
to
do
what
I
have
to
do,
whether
I
have
to
go
to
set
also
at
the
age
of
70,
75.
I
want
to
keep
working
all
my
life.
I
want
to
be
able
to
bend
to
pick
up
my
grandchildren.
So
for
that,
I
need
to
eat
right
with
her
(Diwekar’s)
guidance.”

Eating
healthy,
exercising
and
yoga
are
all
about
the
way
one
feels,
not
the
way
they
look.
“That’s
what
ageing
and
life
is
for
me.
I’m
embracing
it
but
I’m
taking
all
these
particular
things
(into
account)
like
eating
ghee,
eating
khichdi,
doing
a
little
bit
of
weight
training
for
muscle
strength,
walking
a
little,
my
Surya
Namaskars,
doing
my
little
work
on
my
own
rather
than
skin
treatments
and
Botox,”
she
said.
Kareena
lives
by
the
rule
‘Main
apni
favourite
hoon‘
that
her
character
Geet
says
in
her
hit
2007
film,
Jab
We
Met.
“That’s
the
way
every
woman
should
live
her
life
because
self-belief
is
everything.
No
matter
how
you
think
or
feel,
you
have
to
constantly
reassure
yourself
every
day,
and
then
others
start
believing
it.”
The
actor
said
she
had
put
on
around
25
kilos
after
the
birth
of
her
second
son
Jeh
in
2021
and
had
a
moment
of
doubt
about
her
appearance.
“After
Jeh’s
birth,
there
was
a
moment
of
like,
‘Oh,
my
God.
I
have
to
go
back
and
do
this
all
over
again’.
But
it
was
just
like
for
a
flash
of
a
second.
Then,
it
was
just
like,
‘No,
it’s
fine.
I’m
still
looking
fab’,”
she
said.

The
actor
said
her
relationship
with
food
is
simple.
“In
my
early
years,
when
I
was
chubby,
my
relationship
with
food
was
amazing.
It’s
not
like
I
ever
tried
to
starve
myself.
I’m
very
comfortable
in
my
own
skin.
In
my
teenage
years
also,
I
think
I
was
(comfortable).
I
was
always
really
happy
to
pick
up
a
packet
of
chips.
I
was
a
confident
girl.
“In
the
last
10-15
years,
I
go
back
to
the
same
food.
I’m
always
very
happy
with
it.
Because
whether
it’s
good
or
bad
for
me,
I
love
the
fact
that
it
comforts
me.
It
makes
me
feel
happy.
That’s
the
most
important
thing
for
me,”
said
Kareena.
She
would
be
happy
to
eat
khichdi
five
days
a
week.
“It’s
my
comfort
food.
If
I
don’t
eat
khichdi
for
three
days,
I
start
craving
it.”

The
Kapoors
are
known
for
their
love
of
food
and
that
begins
around
the
dining
table.
“Like,
we’re
sitting
together,
we’re
eating
and
chatting.
The
conversation
gets
better
with
food.
It’s
all
inter-related.
So
that’s
why
it’s
a
happy
relationship
with
people
and
the
way
is
through
good
food.”
The
Kapoor
clan
is
obsessed
with
paaya
soup,
she
said,
calling
it
a
‘golden
dish
for
us’.
At
home,
there’s
nothing
like
a
home-cooked
meal
after
a
hard
day’s
work,
added
Kareena.
“Saif
and
I
have
started
cooking.
We
enjoy
it,
so
we
also
made
it
a
way
of
life.
Somehow
it’s
affecting
our
personality.
Saif
is
a
better
cook.
I
can’t
even
boil
an
egg.”
