Kareena Kapoor Khan has always been vocal about her support for the LGBTQ community. In her recent interview, she mentioned how she also wants her kids – 4 year-old Taimur and 8-month old Jeh to grow up to respect the community and treat them as equals.
Kareena feels that it’s wrong to call the LGBTQ community “different”. She questions the mindset of the people who don’t treat them as normals. ““Even calling them (those from the LGBTQ community) ‘different’ is something I don’t like. We are one. That’s the whole idea. Why are people even saying that ‘this is different’? No! We’re all the same na with our hearts, lungs, and liver so why are we seeing them in any other way? That’s the way I think and that’s the way I’ll always bring up my boys to think also”, Kareena was quoted saying in her interview with Filmfare.
Further talking about having friends and fans from the LGBTQ community, Kareena added that she only has love for all of them and will continue to make them feel accepted. Kareena slso said that she and Saif both are “open-minded” individuals with an open-heart for everyone and whenever there are issues pertaining to the community, they hope to communicate with their kids too.
“I’m all for transparency and both Saif and I are people who live life transparently and have friends all over the world from the LGBTQ community. We are open-hearted and open-minded and that’s the way I look forward to bringing up my children. We talk to them about issues pertaining to the community and I feel that’s how it should be”, said Kareena in the same interview.
