Stop treating my pregnancy as a national casualty: Kareena Kapoor lambasts media

Kareena Kapoor's pregnancy rumours had been doing the rounds for quite sometime now but the actress never really gave an answer to it. Until Saif Ali Khan confirmed that Bebo is indeed expecting her first child this December. 

Ever since the announcement, the media has been posting a lot of stories, sometimes speculative and sometimes appreciative of Kareena's moves. But that seems to have not gone down well with the heroine. 

In an interview with HT, she lambasted the media for all the reports about her taking a maternity break. She told, "I’m pregnant, not a corpse. And what maternity break? It’s the most normal thing on earth to produce a child. It is high time the media back off, and stop treating me any different than I ever was. Anybody who is bothered shouldn’t work with me... but my work goes on as is, like always."

She also asked everyone to 'stop making it a national casualty'. "We are in 2016, not in the 1800s. Probably, even at that time, people were way more civilised and normal than the way the media is behaving and speculating now. I’m just fed-up of people making it (her pregnancy) to be a death of some sort. In fact, it should be a message to a lot of people that marriage or having a family has absolutely nothing to do with my career," she retorted.
