Further elaborating on how she felt about the attack, the Refugee star compared it to death. 'When you lose someone, you never really get over it. I don't want to live in that fear for my children because that's also wrong to put that stress on them.

How is Kareena Kapoor coping with the trauma?
The Chameli actress revealed that the incident has affected her deeply on a personal level and left her shaken. Despite all this, she is trying hard not to let her stress and anxiety affect her kids. In fact, Saif Ali Khan encourages the family not to live in fear and to try to move forward.
Further talking about the criticisms she faced for not being at home during the attack, Kareena admitted to being sad. She questioned the mindset of social media users and expressed concerns about the kind of content people seem to value in today's digital age.
Talking about her work front, Kareena Kapoor is all geared up for her upcoming collaboration with Meghna Gulzar and Prithviraj Sukumaran titled Daayra.

Smriti Irani recalls her mother was thrown out of her house because she couldn't have a son: ‘I was 7, that was my Agneepath'
From her beginnings as a model to becoming one of TV's top actors and eventually a Union Minister, Smriti Irani's journey from showbiz to politics has been remarkable. However, in a recent interaction, Smriti admitted that the fire in her belly ignited when she saw injustice against her mother growing up — when she resolved to provide for her siblings and mother. During a chat with Karan Johar on Mojo Story, Smriti was asked which song would represent her life. She replied, 'It would move from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to Agneepath.' When Karan asked why the shift from a love song to revenge, Smriti said, 'I am avenging possibly every kid who never had an opportunity to equally compete.' She explained that she resonates deeply with Agneepath — like the film's lead character, she tackled challenges to fulfill her mother's dream. She explained, 'Agneepath was about a son who was trying to fulfill his mother's desire. He thought that his mother has faced injustice and I always felt that for my own mother. My mother was made to leave home when I was 7 because she could not have a son. So for me, that was my Agneepath, to get my mother back and give a roof over her head.' In an earlier chat with Neelesh Misra, Smriti discussed growing up with financial constraints. 'My dad used to sell books outside an Army club. I used to sit with him, and my mother sold spices going to different homes. My dad didn't study much, while my mother graduated so those conflicts could have also been there. When they got married, they only had Rs 150. Initially, they used to live in a room above a cow's shed. Very few couples are able to survive the constraints of finance and social friction.' She also spoke about how her parents' separation affected her deeply and she refused to accept it for many years. She recalled buying her mother a home, but revealed she still pays one rupee as rent. 'My mother has lived all her life on rent. Six years back, I bought a house. My mother gives me one rupee rent so that her self-respect is intact,' she said.
