Taimur’s rising popularity may have turned the chubby-cheeked cutie into one of the followed star-kids on internet, but the kind of recognition he receives has finally started to irk his mother, Kareena Kapoor.
With the paparazzi trying to capture each moment of his public appearance, his parents have started to realize that things are now going out of hand.
In a recent interview with Film Companion, Kareena spoke about how she deals their toddler’s rising popularity and her plans of sending him to a boarding school, to keep him away from the constant media attention.
Good morning 🥰😘♥️
Here is what the actress was quoted as saying:
“Taimur can’t run away from his popularity and neither can his parents. When I saw the doll, I wondered what was I supposed to say. But Saif pointed out that it is because people love him so much and such things are a blessing for him. There is so much genuine warmth for our son that it’s bad to stop people from clicking his pictures or making his dolls. But, they should understand that he is a two-year-old child and needs a normal life. Both Saif and I are struggling to give him that and will continue to do so without telling the media to back off, no matter how annoying it gets after a point. It’s tough on him as it’s on Saif and me.”
Obviously, for any parent, the decision of sending away their kid is a tough one, but both Kareena and Saif recognize the reality and may finally end up taking the call for their son:
“They are leaving us with no choice. But of course, as a mother, it would kill me to send him away. And I think it’d be unfair and I tell Saif that it’d be like running away from reality because this is the reality.”
Saif now plans to send Taimur to a British Boarding School, soon as he turns 13.
“He needs to see the world.” – he said.
