Let's be honest, Kareena Kapoor Khan is not your average woman. She is a famous movie star, is married into an erstwhile royal family and she just gave birth to the most famous baby in the country. And, not to forget that her status affords her an unparalleled luxurious lifestyle.
But even with all this luxury, she remains to be an average Indian mum.
She loves spending time with him and while she may consciously avoid getting clicked with him, she is quite the hands-on mum.
"I don’t like being away from Taimur, I don’t want to miss out on a single moment of his childhood. If I have to go for a shoot, I’ll take him with me sometimes but it’s a tough balance,” she shares.

But apart from spending time and playing with her little prince, there is one more thing Kareena loves to do with Taimur, but he hates it.
Yes, you read that right.
Like every new mother, Kareena Kapoor Khan also loves to take some liberties with her newborn. She loves to cuddle him, hold him in her arms and often times kiss him.
But the little Nawab is not very fond of all this. While he does enjoy a peck on the cheek from time to time, he pushes Kareena away when she kisses him too much.
The candid mum came out clean that while Taimur is often extremely calm and 'chilled out,' he pushes her away on several occasions.
Kareena explains, "Taimur is always chilled out. He is so gorgeous. The only thing he doesn’t like about me is that I kiss him about 20,000 times a day. And he keeps pushing me off. Saif says why are you doing this. But I always feel like hugging him."
This new mum clearly cannot get enough of Taimur. But how can you blame her, the seven-month-old baby is undeniably adorable.
In fact, Kareena has become so involved with Taimur lately that she took a major decision about her career so her son continues to remain her first priority.

A source close to the new mum told DNA, "Kareena is a very hands-on mom and she loves being with Taimur. She has decided to only pick great stories and wants to make sure that despite doing her films, she gets enough time to spend with Taimur. So as of now, Bebo might do just one film every year."
This recent development, shows that Taimur is after all more important to Kareena than her work at the moment.
And even though Kareena may have two nannies to take care of her baby, she has chosen to be present with her son as much as she can. There is no shame in that, just as there is no shame in hiring a nanny.
After all, both these things work on the same principle- if you can afford this choice, make it. There is no need to feel guilty or pressured by what others might think.
But if this is not convincing enough, here's why we think you should never feel guilty about deciding to work or not to work after a baby.
- It's your baby: First up, you are the mother and you know what works for you and your baby. Whether it is staying home or going back to work, both the decisions rest on your comfort and need. Always remember that your baby will never judge you for the decisions you make. So do as you please because your baby will love irrespective of whether you choose to stay home or follow your dreams.
- It's your husband's baby too: There is no better way to say that most new fathers get away with the responsibility of rearing a child simply because of their gender. Of course it's unfair. But of course, this is the freedom we have accorded to them. This baby is not just yours, it's also your husband's and he is equally responsible for taking care of him. So talk it out and consult amongst each other to come to best solution for your baby and yourself.
- Simply lower your bar: No new parent will be given the title of 'best parents of the world' except by their own kids. So stop trying to be a supermom or a superdad. After all you want to raise happy, healthy and confident children and that can only happen if we try to incorporate these qualities in ourselves.
