Summary
- Kareena Kapoor embraced her post-pregnancy body, gaining 25 kg.

Kareena Kapoor Khan, preparing to celebrate her 46th birthday, has spoken openly about her experiences with weight gain and body image following her two pregnancies. She revealed that after her second child, she gained around 25 kg and felt pressure to regain her pre-pregnancy physique, but chose to embrace her body, stating she felt 'fab' regardless.
Kapoor recounted gaining weight during her pregnancies, reaching 90 kg with her first child, Taimur Ali Khan. Nineteen months later, she successfully shed 32 kg. She shared that she never felt rattled by the weight gain, enjoying her pregnancies and focusing on the journey of losing weight afterward.
She clarified that her weight loss was achieved healthily, without starvation. Kapoor attributed her success to her nutritionist, Rujuta Diwekar, and Pilates instructor, Namrata Purohit. Diwekar ensured a balanced diet with healthy fats, even recommending foods like parathas with ghee, while Purohit guided her through a progressive workout regimen, starting with minimal repetitions due to a weak back post-delivery.
Kareena Kapoor recently appeared in the film 'Daayra'.
