What Kareena said

At the trailer release event, the actor spoke about working with director Meghna Gulzar. She also shared how she encourages her sons to embrace their feelings, saying that it is completely okay for them to cry whenever they feel the need to.

"At the end of the day, I'm a mother of two sons and of course, I'm, I'm terrified because as a mother, you, you kind of want to do your best, you want to protect them, you want to also show them a side that they are responsible. So the only thing I keep praying for is kindness. Men should be more kind, boys should be more kind.," she emphasised.

"Ye soch hamesha hai ke ladki hamesha bohot sensitive hoti hai (This thought is always there that girls are always very sensitive), but that's not true. I think there are men and boys who today have no fear of being sensitive, of, of crying in front of a girl or crying in front of their mother. I always tell my son, if he wants to cry, you should, if that's what you feel, because he has to experience that and he has to know," Kareena added.
