On parenting traits that she would want to imbibe from her husband or sister Kareena ?
Not many people understand that being a mother is a personal experience. You can’t compare two parents. Five hundred people are giving me 500 pieces of advice. I am listening to them from one ear, and taking out their advice from the other (laughs). I will form my own rules, because no two kids are similar.
On the fact that the child may not be able to lead a normal life, like most other children!
Actually no, because Saif and I are very normal. In fact, I think we are possibly the most normal film stars who exist. Everyone who knows us will say the same. We have friends who are not from the film fraternity. We don’t go to [film] trials and parties. We are not very PR-driven. We have a private life and we are honest to the media. That’s just the way we are going to live our lives. We don’t have bodyguards, and we don’t believe in having them either. I hope that our family will continue being in this atmosphere. I’m not going to hire 10 bodyguards just because my child will belong to a star family.
On being open about her relationships( personal life ) despite of being a mainstream actor .
No, I’m not the voice of change. And I haven’t done these things for women empowerment or because I’m a feminist. You always do things that suit your personality. Also, I think it’s important to be honest. As an actor, there’s a certain amount of responsibility that you need to show because your fans look up to you. The least you can do is be honest towards your work, your family and your fans. Very few actors do that because everyone wants to hide behind a particular image. I think Saif and I have been vocal about what we want. People have had 100 opinions about it (our decisions) and that’s fine. I don’t go out of my way to clarify things that are being discussed about me, Kareena adds.
