The movie Ki & Ka

Kareena Kapoor's Ki & Ka questioned the norm of the gender's role as the breadwinner of the home. The film depicted the story of a couple where the husband is a stay-at-home guy while Kareena's character played a working girl. She is portrayed as an independent, working woman who earns for the house while her husband stays at home to look after running of the house.

The desire to have a girl child

Kareena, during her pregnancy, was endorsing the "I am a girl child" campaign. She spoke at the Global Citizen Movement launch and exclaimed that she was tired of people asking her about her preference between a girl or a boy. In despair, Kareena said that she was shocked that we still live in such a society where things like this exist.

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.
