Soha Ali Khan on children exposure: “With Taimur, it is the most extreme case”
Kareena Kapoor Khan and her sister-in-law Soha Ali Khan, recently had an entertaining chat on a radio show where both discussed star babies, the paparazzi culture and the trolling of celebrity mothers. Kareena who is reportedly stressed over her son Taimur’s exposure and the paparazzi culture, asked Soha about her reaction.
Deccan Chronicle reveals Soha saying, “With Taimur, it is the most extreme case as compared to Innaya. I know that he is often followed wherever he goes. With Innaya, it is less but it’s still worrying. I don’t know what it is about these children or star children but it is going to take away their innocence.”
“I remember a huge part of my childhood being private and nobody knew about it. Every child in school or high school wants to belong there and not stand out. It can be tough growing up when you want acceptance and friends, and if people think you are different then they keep you at an arm’s distance. It is terrifying,” she added.
On the topic of shaming celebrity mothers, Soha said, “You can’t block that out. You have to be aware that things exist. In terms of shaming and trolling, sometimes it’s just people looking for attention and sometimes you can have a rational discussion with someone. But, you cannot please everyone so just please yourself.”
Revealing that her husband Saif Ali Khan was fixated with being around their son Taimur, Kareena shared that she had to really encourage Saif to go out of the house to work. “Saif is obsessed. I have to push him out. He had to go for a shoot in Bhuj and he was like, ‘ask them to cancel the shoot, I can’t leave Taimur, I want to be with him’. And, I was like, ‘you have to go to work’, she said.
