"The most important thing is that pregnancy should not be looked upon as some sort of disease of any kind. It's the most beautiful phenomenon that can happen to a woman... I would continue to do as normal things as everybody else because that's what it is.
"It's most natural phenomenon and there is nothing wrong with it. In fact it's a joy," Kareena told IANS when she was asked how it felt to walk on the runway as a showstopper for Sabyasachi Mukherjee at the Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) Winter/Festive 2016 with a baby bump.
Usually it is seen in Bollywood that when an actress gets pregnant, it leads to a cut in her roles. Is Bollywood being supportive of her new phase?
"But why should they not be," questioned Kareena, and added: "I don't look at it like any change. I know of course everyone prefers 16-year-olds dancing around in mini skirts, but there is a certain amount of stature that is required for certain roles. And that will always be there."
At the LFW finale, Kareena was glowing in a bespoke and beautiful elegant lehenga created by Sabyasachi.
Asked if pregnancy has affected her personal style, she said: "Luckily, I have always been an actor who has gone for things that have suited my personality. I have never really tried to follow any particular trend.
"It has always been more casual chic or whenever I am out for the evening, I prefer to wear something that I am comfortable in, something which is a lot more elegant and regal because I believe my fans expect that from me."
LFW, a five-day fashion extravaganza, ended here on Sunday on a high note with Sabyasachi showcasing an elegant line.
