Imagine sitting down for a cozy family lunch, surrounded by everyone you love and your aunt suddenly points at you and asks, “Kitna kha rahi ho?” That’s exactly what happened recently when Neetu Kapoor, Kareena’s aunt, playfully teased her about eating a lot during her pregnancy.
This fun moment went viral after being shared on the Netflix show Dining With The Kapoors. Kareena laughed as she recalled how Neetu would jokingly scold her for indulging in her cravings.
Neetu Kapoor is loved for her wit, warmth, and cheeky humor. During that memorable lunch, she didn’t hold back. When Kareena was enjoying a hearty portion of mac and cheese, Neetu asked, “Kitna kha rahi hai?”
Kareena responded with a playful defense, reminding her that she was pregnant, “I’m allowed to eat.” But Neetu wasn’t ready to back down, teasing her with a little grandmotherly (or rather aunt-ish) sass, “Don’t eat all this.”
Why Pregnancy Cravings Happen
Pregnancy cravings are extremely common and completely natural. Many expecting mothers experience sudden desires for certain foods. And these cravings sometimes demand very unusual combinations like pickles with ice cream, or chocolate with spicy snacks.
These cravings happen because the body is going through hormonal changes. During pregnancy, estrogen and progesterone levels rise, which affect taste buds and appetite.
The body may signal a need for extra calories or nutrients. Sometimes, cravings are linked to stress, emotions, or mood swings as well.

Cravings Are Not Just About Food
Pregnancy cravings aren’t always just about hunger. They can be:
· Emotional comfort: Food can provide a sense of calm or happiness during stressful days.
· Nutrition signals: The body sometimes craves foods rich in nutrients that the mother needs.
· Sensory changes: Pregnant women may develop stronger reactions to smells and tastes, making certain foods irresistible.
So when Kareena indulged in snacks on set, it wasn’t just eating for pleasure, her body was naturally responding to what it needed.
How To Handle Cravings Safely
Experts recommend a balanced approach:
· Listen to your body: If your body asks for a certain food, it’s okay to indulge occasionally.
· Balance is key: Mix cravings with healthy options to ensure proper nutrition.
· Small portions: Enjoy treats in moderation instead of large quantities at once.
· Stay hydrated: Sometimes it’s just the water that the body needs.
During pregnancy, loved ones naturally worry about what the expectant mother eats. Neetu’s teasing was her way of showing concern. Love comes with jokes. In close families, affection often shows up as playful teasing. This was Neetu’s funny but caring way of looking out for Kareena.
The moment got a loving response from the fans. Many people commented, “That’s exactly how my aunt teases me too!”
So next time someone says, “Kitna kha rahi ho?” while teasing you, remember it’s usually their way of showing love and care. And sometimes, a little laughter and a smile is all you need to enjoy the moment.
