Bebo the baby sitter
Back in town after shooting overseas for the longest time with boyfriend Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor made sure that she played the doting masi to her seven-month-old nephew Kiaan and five-year-old niece Samaira (Karisma's son and daughter respectively).
TOI has learnt that Kareena took time out to spend one whole day with them and even took them out for a treat. She played with them through the day and even danced with Samaira on some of her songs. Of course she bonded with her sister and mother Babita too. Sources who spotted her say that Kareena was being a protective, but pampering masi when out on the streets. When in town, Kareena in fact makes sure that she takes adequate time out every week to spend with them.
When contacted, Kareena says, "They are the love of my life. I'm so happy that I'm masi of two of the most adorable children in the whole world. They fill my life with so much love and happiness that I'm constantly looking to be with them. There have been times when I have been out of town or constantly shooting but as soon as I have packed for the day, I have tried to be next to them. They are great stress-busters too. When I'm with them I don't think of work at all. It doesn't even matter then."
The actor says that Samaira and Kiaan's innocence makes her drool over them. "Children are the most innocent beings in the world. When we grow up, we get polluted and corrupted by materialism, the constant need to be successful and many others things. But being with the two kids, I feel a brush of innocence touching me too. I love it. I feel good that when I'm with them, I'm not thinking about what people in the industry are talking about me or whether my last film was a success or not or even how I look. They love me for what I am — unconditionally." Sources also say that Kareena constantly pampers them with gifts and the fashion icon that she is, clothes are always on her list of presents along with toys and other things.
