Kareena and Saif, parents to four-year-old Taimur, announced their second pregnancy in August 2020. “We are very pleased to announce that we are expecting an addition to our family.

Kareena was last seen in Irrfan Khan’s final film Angrezi Medium and, before that, Good Newwz. Laal Singh Chaddha, a remake of Hollywood classic Forrest Gump, also stars Vijay Sethupathi and is expected to release this December. Kareena’s lineup also includes Karan Johar’s Takht, filming of which has not yet begun.
