For the launch of her book, Kareena had hosted an Instagram Live session with Karan Johar, and he had asked her that she had once told him she had lost her sex drive during pregnancy and her husband, Saif, really understood it. To this, she had responded, "People just feel like… When you are pregnant, they don’t realise the kind of moods, emotions, feelings, what you actually feel about yourself. That’s so important. Some days, I would feel super amazing and sexy, and feel ‘oh my God, I am looking so hot with this belly’ and I feel amazing, and I would tell Saif that or he would say, ‘You are looking beautiful."

Talking about losing sexual drive, Kareena had further added, "But there were times post-six-seven months where I felt like… Of course, I was exhausted and I couldn’t get myself to get up sometimes in the morning. But sometimes, it’s just a feeling of repulsion. You are just in a mental state when you don’t know what to think. It’s so important to have a supportive man and most men should not put pressure on their wives to a) look beautiful while they are pregnant and b) feel they are any less. That pressure shouldn’t be there or like ‘this is it, our regular sex life has to be super-active’."
On the professional front, Kareena was last seen in the film, Angrezi Medium in 2020, and will be next seen in Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha!
