Her pregnancy looks have been 'goals’

She carried her pregnancy with poise and grace instead of hiding it. Kareena Kapoor made it clear in multiple interviews that pregnancy is something to be proud of rather than a reason to bring any woman down.

The #WhatWomenWant moment

Kareena Kapoor recently started a radio show on Ishq.com (104.8 FM) called #WhatWomenWant. The show is all about women narrating their story of breaking stereotypical opinions of society.
