I am also in a deeply emotional zone in my life and I mean it with the birth of my children who've really come like a sunshine. Just waking after them and watching them sleep at night are the two highlights of my day. They have changed the whole aura around me. Whether it's the company or the house, we have renewed energies now because of the babies.” (Also Read: Kareena Kapoor Quizzes Sara Ali Khan If She Has Had A One-Night Stand And About Modern Relationships)
