Geeta Basra on loving Kareena's maternity style

In the recent times, we have witnessed how a number of Bollywood actors have pretty much changed the way pregnancy and maternity is perceived in general. Probably the frontrunner in this list has been actor Kareena Kapoor Khan.

The actor has not only been an example for many on how to keep working during the times of pregnancy but also showcased some amazing style quotient during those days. Another name that has endured two pregnancies is that of actor Geeta Basra and she too, has been an inspiration for many.

In a recent interview with ETimes, Basra talked about the pressure of getting back in shape after pregnancy and maternity fashion among other things. About her fitness regime and food habits, she mentioned how she is very strict about what she eats and her regime and lifestyle is basic and simple. She mentioned that she doesn't eat outside much and only eats once a week maybe. She also mentioned that owing to having two kids to juggle, she hasn't been able to get back to fitness but she doesn't endorse that and believes that one should take time out for fitness no matter what. As of now, as she is unable to do that, she makes sure her eating habits are good and her nutritionist helps her detoxify and heal her body.

Talking about how difficult it is to get back in shape, Basra said, "It is actually very difficult to get back into shape after delivering a child. There is a lot of pressure but women should not hurry into getting back in shape. I literally walked into a gym a year after Hinaya was born. I never wanted to get back into shape so quickly. I enjoyed motherhood and being a mom first and then later I got time to do so. With Jovan, it was a bit easier because I had Hinaya to run after and I had a good nutritionist. So things were easier this time around. Plus, I didn’t indulge so much in my second pregnancy so I didn’t gain so much. I didn’t have so many cravings for eating random food. I ate very healthy and that helped me to shed those extra kilos quickly."

Finally, talking about maternity fashion, she mentioned that she loved Kareena Kapoor Khan's maternity style as she kept it comfy and cool which is also her style. She mentioned that she likes to keep it comfortable with flat shoes and loose clothes and applauded Kapoor Khan for doing a fine job of pulling it off so well.
