The radiant mum-to-be Kareena Kapoor Khan is clearly not one to conform to traditions. In fact, she is known to follow her own heart and set her own rules.
No wonder then she was so honest about her live-in relationship with now husband Saif Ali Khan and even opted for a simple registered marriage, unlike what many expected of her.
And now with her pregnancy she is again setting new benchmarks. Over the course of five months she single-handedly highlighted the importance of work during pregnancy and dished out relatable pregnancy diets.
So now in her eight month of pregnancy, which is when most Indian women have their godh bharai ceremony, it seems that Kareena is again going against the norm. As it turns out, she may actually not have a baby shower at all!
Yes, that's right.
A source told DNA, "She might not have one. Her closest friend Amrita Arora Ladak also didn’t have one. Even her saasu maa Sharmila Tagore is not big on having the traditional godh bharai. But knowing Bebo, never say never. She might just decide to have one, if she feels like it."
Well, if she does decide to have one, then she can certainly take a cue from some of the newest mums on the block who had the most amazing baby showers or godh bharai ceremonies.
#1 Geeta Basra's all white baby shower
After tying the knot in a gorgeous wedding last October, celebrity couple Geeta Basra and Harbhajan Singh became proud parents of baby Hinaya Heer Plaha on July 28, this year. But not before having the cutest all-white baby shower in London, where Geeta is based.
The glowing mum-to-be looked pretty in an all-white ensemble and flowery tiara, her friends and family were seen in coordinated white dresses.
It was earlier speculated that Basra might host a traditional Punjabi godh bharai, but she went for a more simple and gorgeous English ceremony with cake and candies.

Actor and now mum of two boys, Kanchi Kaul was given a pleasant surprise when her close friends decided to throw her baby shower.

Ashlesha even posted this cute picture of the shower and wrote: "A gorgeous surprise for a gorgeous mommy to be @kanchikaul from her gorgeous friends who gorged on cake n pani puri!!!#babyshower#purelove#goodtimes."
