MUMBAI: The intimate family special, Dining With The Kapoors, currently streaming on Netflix, provided fans with a rare, candid look into the lives of the iconic acting clan.
Hosted by Armaan Jain, the lunch—held to celebrate the 100th birth anniversary of legendary filmmaker Raj Kapoor—brought together prominent family members, including Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor.
During a candid moment at the table, actress Kareena Kapoor recounted a humorous period during her pregnancy when she felt constantly monitored by her mother-in-law, Neetu Kapoor, particularly when it came to food.
The topic arose as the family reminisced about classic dishes, with Ranbir fondly describing his grandmother's baked mac and cheese.

Kareena revealed that her love for the rich, baked dish during her pregnancy earned her frequent and firm admonishments.
She explained the exchange to the family: "What Neetu aunty has done to me in my pregnancy is that when I was eating the baked dish, and I was eating so much, she would say, 'How much are you eating?'"
Kareena tried to defend her cravings, saying, "I said, 'I'm pregnant, I'm allowed to eat,' but she was like, 'Don't eat all this.'
"The incident didn't end there, as Neetu Kapoor, interjecting, pointed to Kareena and stated directly, "You eat a lot."
The actress summarised the whole playful yet stern interaction: "You saw me when I was pregnant, and you were just firing me by saying 'do not eat too much.' And I said, 'I'm pregnant,' and she was like, 'so what.'"
Adding context to her dietary experience, Kareena has previously revealed that she had gained around twenty kilos during her first pregnancy with her son, Taimur Ali Khan.
At the time, her doctor had directly advised her to exercise restraint, telling her, "You are 20 kilos overweight, do not eat so much!"
She confessed that while she attempted to eat healthy for the first six months, she ultimately "enjoyed" her pregnancy and indulged in cravings, admitting, "I used to eat five to ten parathas a day."
The Dining With The Kapoors special saw the attendance of nearly the entire family, although Ranbir's wife, actress Alia Bhatt, was noticeably absent.
The creators of the special clarified that her absence was due to prior shooting commitments, emphasising that, as the great Raj Kapoor often said, work is worship.
The episode successfully captured the affectionate and occasionally monitoring dynamic that exists within the close-knit family.
