'Firstly, I have not even had the time to add the fact that I have a husband on my passport. He has promptly gone and done that. I am still in the process because I have been travelling so much. I have been to London for two months and I will be travelling more. When there is so much travel, I cannot give my passport for any submission.'
She added 'But I will be doing it (adding the Kapoor surname). I have to add all these things. I am happy to do it. Since we are going to have a child together. I don't want to be the Bhatt while the Kapoors are travelling together. I don't want to feel left out. So when I travel on the documents I don't want to be the left out,'
