Kareena Kapoor is a favourite of the paparazziand so are her kids, Taimur and Jeh.
Ever since Taimur’s birth, he has been under the media spotlight. Unlike many other Bollywood celebrities, Kareena has never shielded her kids’ faces from photographers but has made it known that both her sons don’t love being photographed. In a recent interview, when Kareena was asked about Taimur and Jeh’s ‘hilarious antics’, she said that both her sons are like their father, Saif Ali Khan.
In a chat with Filme Shilmy, Kareena said, “They are both quite like Saif. Jeh just looks like me but he has Saif’s naughtiness and Tim has Saif’s sense of humour but he’s a bit more reserved, like he doesn’t like being clicked, more like his father. Jeh’s more like his… like me. I mean in terms of look and a little more vibe, but his naughtiness comes from Saif.”
Kareena is often asked about the rise of the paparazzi culture in India, especially with regard to photographers clicking star kids from a very young age. When Kareena was asked about the same at Express Adda in 2023, she said that she and Saif decided not to hide their kids’ faces from the photographers as they believed that it might have a negative impact on him.
“He (Taimur) 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?'” she said and added, “But he knows that he’s not famous and he doesn’t like it,” she said. Kareena and Saif welcomed Taimur in 2016 and Jeh in 2021.
In 2023, Kareena is looking forward to the release of Crew, Singham Again and The Buckingham Murders.
