Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s sons, Jeh and Taimur, have always wowed fans with their cuteness whenever paparazzi clicked them. However, after the stabbing incident, Kareena requested photographers not to click her children to maintain their privacy. In a podcast with Soha Ali Khan, Kareena shared how Taimur reacted when the paparazzi stopped clicking him and what her response was.
Kareena Kapoor on motherhood
When asked what motherhood has taught her about herself, Kareena said, “Warm and loving parenting with a strict and vigilant watch.” Soha then asked how raising children in such an age of constant vigilance has been for her. Kareena replied, “I tell them, I have two eyes here, but I have two eyes here also. Just keep remembering that.”
How Taimur reacts when paparazzi don’t click him
Soha further asked her about the paparazzi culture, to which Kareena shared that it didn’t exist back then. When asked how she deals with it, she stated, “By being thick-skinned. There is no other way out in this profession. If you give in to the toxicity of it, it feeds in more rather than solving the issue. So, I just pull back and I have learnt to do that when someone says things. Luckily, the children are not yet updated much.”
When asked about Jeh and Taimur’s reactions toward paparazzi, Kareena remarked that Jeh is not very aware of it. While sharing Taimur’s reaction, she quipped, “He got used to the fact that he`s getting clicked. So, then when I told them not to click him, he said, ‘Why did you tell them not to click me?’ So I told him it’s because I am famous and just because you are my son, it does not mean that you are famous. You are not famous. So now he is calculating that I have to become like Lionel Messi or Virat Kohli, then I will get clicked.”
Kareena married actor Saif Ali Khan in 2012, and they welcomed their first son, Taimur, in 2016, followed by their second son, Jehangir (Jeh), in 2021. On the work front, the actress will next be seen in Meghna Gulzar’s Daayra, which also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film is set to release in 2026.
