I knew I would take time to resume because I had to be with Taimur, Kareena on Veere Di Wedding!
Tue May 22nd, 2018
Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan is ready for her forthcoming release, Veere Di Wedding. The actor doesn't believe in the concept of a comeback per se and loved taking a break from the screen. In a media chat with a daily, when questioned about the gap that she took, she told, "What gap? I was up and about all through pregnancy. And I enjoyed the break from the screen. I love being a mother and that’s of utmost importance to me."
Kareena is happy that Rhea Kapoor took a call and waited her to get back. "I am glad Rhea [Kapoor, co- producer] waited for me because I really wanted to do the film. People are used to seeing me opposite Aamir [Khan], Shah Rukh [Khan] or Salman [Khan]. Four girls helming a film all by themselves is refreshing. She thought I won’t do it because actors either want to play the protagonist or be paired with a Khan," revealed Kareena.
The makers wanted to rework on the whole script as Kareena was to ready to shoot with a baby bump. Kareena told as India lacks maternity insurance, she chose to step back. "Shashanka [Ghosh, director] and Rhea took three months to rework the script so that I could shoot with a baby bump. They planned to show my character six months pregnant. But since there’s no maternity insurance [for actresses] in India, like they have abroad, there was no safeguard against suffering a mishap. So we scrapped the idea of shooting during pregnancy. India has a long way to go in accounting for every facet of a woman’s life and challenges on the professional front," revealed Bebo.
"Rhea wanted me on board, even if it meant delaying the film by another year. No one ever put any pressure on me. I knew I would take time to resume because I had to be with Taimur. I returned to the set in Delhi over six months after deliver," further added Kareena.
