Pediatric nurse Lalita D’Silva, renowned for being the nanny to Bollywood stars Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan’s children, Taimur and Jeh, has given her first tell-all interview. D’Silva became a household name thanks to her association with the famous couple, but surprisingly, she has remained tight-lipped about her experience until now.
In an exclusive conversation with Hindi Rush, D’Silva addressed some of the most popular and controversial claims circulating on social media regarding her job. One of the most talked-about aspects was her alleged monthly salary of Rs 2.5 lakh. When asked about this, Lalita candidly replied, “Rs 2.5 lakh? I wish. Aapke mooh mein ghee shakkar (May your words come true). These are all rumours.” With this statement, she put to rest the overblown speculations about her earnings.
D’Silva has garnered significant public attention not just for her role as Taimur and Jeh’s nanny but also for offering a glimpse into the home life of one of Bollywood’s most adored couples. She spoke passionately about the grounded lifestyle and shared family values in Kareena and Saif’s household. Notably, she revealed an interesting detail about their mealtime routine: there is no separate food for the staff and family. This practice of sharing the same food underscores a sense of equality and respect within the household.
“They are such simple people. The morning routine is such that the staff, and Kareena and Saif, we all eat the same food. There’s no such thing as there will be separate food for the staff. It’s the same food and the same quality.
. So many times we have all eaten together,” D’Silva elaborated.
While paparazzi photos and videos brought Lalita into the limelight, many are unaware of her illustrious background. Before joining Kareena and Saif’s household, she was entrusted with the care of Anant Ambani, the younger son of Mukesh and Nita Ambani. This association places her in the unique position of having served two of India’s most influential families.
D’Silva’s bond with the Ambani family remains strong, as evidenced by her attendance at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding.

“I’m deeply grateful for the joy and love that Anant baba and the Ambani family have brought into my life. I cherish the fond memories and warm moments we’ve shared, and I’m thankful for their unwavering love and respect. Even after all these years, their kindness and generosity continue to inspire me. I’m blessed to have Nita bhabi and Mukesh sir in my life, who still embrace me as a part of their family. I pray that Anant and Radhika are blessed with abundant love, happiness, and good health. The Ambani family’s love and support mean the world to me, and I’m honored to be a part of their lives,” she wrote.
