In December 2016, Saif Ali Khan and his wife, actress Kareena Kapoor gave birth to their first child, Taimur Ali Khan. During an interview with Rediff in 2019, she talked about taking on the role of a pregnant lady in Good Newwz alongside Akshay Kumar, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani. Kareena revealed that her on-screen pregnancy felt so distinct due to the fact that it was a lighthearted project centering around sperms intersection.
The actor said when asked if Good Newwz reminded of her pregnancy she had to wear a pregnant stomach as there are different phases in the film where she’s three months, six months and then nine months pregnant. They made a prosthetic swimsuit of a belly and it was made in London. She had to wear that swimsuit underneath her clothes. It looked so natural with a belly button that she had forgotten what it was like to be pregnant. The actress revealed eating 5 to 10 parathas a day when pregnant with Taimur Ali Khan while joking that this one was a pregnancy without parathas.
Further speaking about her pregnancy, the actor had said, “I am generally an hypochondriac, so I used to ask my doctor 100 questions! There would be a question every day until he told me, ‘Listen, there’s nothing to ask, just relax.’ Of course, it was a first-time pregnancy and my sister (Karisma Kapoor) was just a phone call away. She would guide me. My doctor would ask me to come and weigh myself because he said you are 20 kilos overweight, itna mat khao (don’t eat so much)! Actually, you are not supposed to overeat during pregnancy because then you get acidity. You have to eat right. I did try to do that for six months, but after that, it was all downhill. But I enjoyed my pregnancy.”
Their children remain Taimur Ali Khan, Jehangir Ali Khan commonly known as Jeh who are seven years old and three years old respectively.
