Kareena Kapoor Khan is expecting her first child with her husband Saif Ali Khan this December and the actress has already started breaking stereotypes exist in our society.

Recently, during an event she was asked a question on gender inequality in our society and the actress answered with own experiences dealing with pregnancy and how she would love to have a girl child.

“It’s very intrusive when people ask me if it’s a boy or a girl. I am a girl and I would love to have a girl. What is the difference? I have probably done more for my parents than a son would do. So my answer is downright rude to say – firstly it is very intrusive and at this point I don’t think you should be asking me this question. But coming back, I think we are still in a nation where you are asked, “Oh you are getting married, are you still going to work?” Oh you are having a child, are you still going to work?” These questions upset me and when the organizers contacted me and asked if I would like to be a part of this initiative, my reaction was that as an expecting mother, nothing would make me happier than to participate in an initiative which promotes gender equality,” said Kareena.

Earlier she was also blasted on everyone’s treating her pregnancy and said, “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. Stop making it a national casualty. We are in 2016, not in the 1800s. 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.”
