Kareena Kapoor Khan reveals feeling insecure about her body after gaining 25 kg post Jeh’s birth: ‘I have never tried to starve to look thin’ | Hindi Movie News

Kareena Kapoor Khan reinforced her belief in self-love during a recent conversation, where she spoke about gaining 25 kg after giving birth to her younger son, Jeh (Jehangir Ali Khan).
At nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar’s book launch on Wednesday (April 2), Kareena candidly discussed her relationship with food and body image, emphasising that she has never shied away from indulging in her favourite snacks.
Kareena revealed that she gained 25 kg following the birth of her second son, Jehangir Ali Khan. While she briefly felt the pressure to return to her previous physique, she quickly embraced her appearance, stating that she still felt fabulous.

Kareena asserted her confidence with the Jab We Met dialogue, “Main apni favourite hoon” (I’m my favourite person). She claimed that self-belief helps women live their lives to the fullest. “If you reassure yourself every day, it just becomes easy to believe, and then others start believing it. Not that it matters what others think—at least I have always lived like that,” she shared.
Rujuta Diwekar praised Kareena’s confidence, calling her one of her most self-assured clients. “One of the things I have always loved about Kareena is that she really compliments herself. She tells me, ‘I cannot even tell you how good I am looking’ and ‘I am looking like a stick.’ I love that about her,” she remarked.
The Crew actress also spoke about how much of a foodie she is. “I was always a chubby kid. But I was always happy,” she added. Kareena also called her relationship with food ‘amazing,’ stating that it had really helped her. “I have never tried to starve to look thin; I am very comfortable in my own skin. Even in my teenage years, I was always happy to pick up a packet of crisps and eat. I was a confident girl,” she emphasised.

Kareena further mentioned that after Jeh’s birth, she briefly felt the pressure of reclaiming her previous body shape. “After Jeh’s birth, there was a moment when I thought, ‘Oh my God, I have to go back and do this all over again.’ But it lasted just for a second—I still felt fabulous. I had gained 25 kg, not to mention,” she said.
On the work front, Kareena Kapoor Khan was last seen in Singham Again in 2024.
