"I want him to have as normal a life as possible," Kareena said about Taimur
Stars like Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan never hide their children's faces from the paparazzi. Moreover, Saif-Kareena's elder son Taimur (now 6 years old ) has always been one of the favourites of the shutterbugs. On the other hand, actors like Rani Mukerji and Anushka Sharma strictly protect their children from the glare of media. In a recent conversation with The Indian Express, Kareena Kapoor revealed why she and Saif Ali Khan never hide their children from the paparazzi. Kareena also shared that one day Taimur asked a question to his parents about getting clicked when he was only four years old.
"He was quite smart because he knew that we were actors, as I had told him we were in the movies. And he just turned around and told me, 'But I am not famous. Why are they clicking my picture?'", Kareena shared with the publication. Kareena added that now Taimur is used to the attention. "But he knows that he's not famous and he doesn't like it," she said. Kareena told as parents she and Saif always think it's a better way of handling things than hiding them away.
Kareena said hiding the children away from media might affect their minds in a negative manner. "Otherwise, it would just somehow scar him in a way that maybe he would get shy or affected or I don't know, maybe say, 'I don't want to go out because like my parents are constantly shielding me or somebody is constantly doing this.' I want him to have as normal a life as possible. So if he's playing football, somebody is clicking him. I think he's just like now it's ok, but he's going on with his day and activity kind of thing," Kareena said.
