Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is a mother of two sons- Taimur and Jeh- says that she has never hidden anything from media when it comes to her children.
“We are very open, both Saif (Ali Khan, husband) and me. We as parents have never really hid anything from the media too. My children are photographed because we believe if I give respect, I will get respect. I can’t ask for it, or beg for it. But if I am going to be equal with everybody around me, they will respect our privacy. And honestly, it has worked," she tells HT.

The 42-year-old, who is currently shooting for Rhea Kapoor’s The Crew, adds that whenever she also tells the paparazzi to not click her kids while they are at school or with friends, they respect it. “We have to reach that mutual understanding because if I give respect, I want that.” she says adding that she even respects her social media fans.
“I give respect to my fans on Instagram, I let you into my life, maybe not a 100 percent. I make everybody feel involved in my life, and that’s something why my fans are still so involved,” smiles the actor.

Her priorities have also shifted ever since she embraced motherhood, and she decidedly takes on limited work. She asserts, “I am very hands on, I like to do everything, I am a 24/7 mom. That’s what I have been most of my life, then an actor. I would say I am 70 percent a mother now, 30 percent actor. I do have to follow and do things I love doing as well, like spread awareness about topics such as inculcating reading habits in children.”
Directed by Rajesh Krishnan, 'The Crew' also stars Kriti Sanon, Tabu, and Rajkummar Rao.
