Being a mom and responsibilities mean a lot to me: Karisma Kapoor

Mumbai: Actress Karisma Kapoor says she never lets her celebrity status come in the way of her concentration on the upbringing of her two children.

"There is a little bit of pressure and stress being in the public eye. But that all aside, I think being a mom, family values and running my home, these are things that are very important to me and that comes first before anything else in the world," the 39-year-old said here during the photoshoot for the cover of her book, `My Yummy Mummy Guide`. The book is focussed on motherhood. Karisma is very excited about her book and says she can`t wait to dole out tips for young moms. "Motherhood means the world to me, it`s everything to me. That`s why I was really excited about the book because I wanted to tell all young moms about my journey and what I really, truly believe motherhood is," Karisma said. She has an eight-year-old daughter Samaira and three-year-old son Kiaan Kapoor, with businessman Sanjay Kapur. IANS
