Kareena Kapoor Revisits Her Iconic Pregnancy Journey: Ramp Walks, Family Moments, and Unseen Throwbacks

Kareena Kapoor Khan began 2026 with a nostalgic throwback to 2016, the year she was expecting her first child, Taimur Ali Khan. Her Instagram carousel captured unforgettable highlights — glamorous fashion appearances, candid family frames, and intimate moments with husband Saif Ali Khan.

Family ties were evident too, with Sara Ali Khan, Ibrahim Ali Khan, and Karisma’s children Samaira and Kiaan appearing in the album. One striking photograph showed Kareena just two days before delivery, surrounded by her inner circle.

What Defined 2016?

In August 2016, Kareena and Saif announced their pregnancy. Defying industry norms, Kareena chose visibility over retreat. She continued attending events, promotions, and even walked the ramp twice at Lakme Fashion Week — first for Rohit Bal and later for Sabyasachi Mukherjee, proudly flaunting her baby bump. Her appearances sparked conversations around motherhood and modern womanhood.

She also starred in Udta Punjab and announced Veere Di Wedding. Kareena later revealed that producer Rhea Kapoor supported her through pregnancy, even considering rewriting her character, before deciding to wait until Kareena was ready.

On December 20, 2016, Kareena and Saif welcomed Taimur. While his pictures became internet sensations, his name stirred nationwide debate. Kareena later reflected that though the controversy affected her, Taimur also received immense love.

Her bold choices set a precedent for actresses like Alia Bhatt, who continued working through pregnancy, proving Kareena’s legacy remains influential.
