Kareena Kapoor Khan recently shared candid insights into her postpartum experiences during a heartfelt conversation with her brother Ranbir Kapoor on her talk show What Women Want. The actress revealed that her husband, Saif Ali Khan, did not spend even a single night with her in the hospital after the births of their two sons. Kareena highlighted this contrast while praising Ranbir’s hands-on involvement during Alia Bhatt’s delivery, sparking discussions among fans about parenting dynamics in Bollywood couples.

Ranbir, who became a father to daughter Raha in November 2022, explained his approach during the same chat. He took a sabbatical from work for two to three months leading up to the delivery and stayed by Alia’s side in the hospital for an entire week. Kareena responded warmly, calling him a “lovely husband” and directly comparing it to her own experience: “Saif didn’t stay one night with me at the hospital.” The light-hearted yet revealing exchange showcased the different ways partners support new mothers.

Kareena and Saif, married since October 2012, welcomed Taimur in December 2016 and Jeh in February 2021. In a separate podcast episode of All About Her with sister-in-law Soha Ali Khan, Kareena described herself as a “helicopter mom” who tends to be overprotective. She credited Saif with being more relaxed and experienced, especially as a father to four children. “He is always like ‘Relax’… he is the more calm one,” she noted, appreciating his balanced parenting style despite their differing approaches.

Fans have praised both couples for their openness about real-life parenting realities in the spotlight.

These personal stories from Bollywood’s prominent families continue to spark conversations about modern fatherhood and spousal support in high-profile relationships.
