Riteish Deshmukh says ‘camera cannot be avoided’

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Riteish Deshmukh discussed how there is no norm on how celebrity parents should manage their children’s exposure to the media. He said, "Just because one person does something doesn’t mean others have to do the same. I think parents know what’s best for their children and they come with a certain thought process. If people feel that they don’t want their children to be in the media, it should be respected."

Further, the Housefull 5 actor mentioned that avoiding the camera is impossible as their kids are out every day for their sports activities. Riteish shared that when they go and watch their children's matches, they will be clicked by the paparazzi and said, "You cannot avoid it." 

Deshmukh explained how one has to deal with the camera and shared what he teaches his children. Riteish shared, "The only thing I tell them is that when people click us, it’s an honour. When they (paps) ask for pictures, you thank them for clicking and move on. They (kids) also need to understand that when someone comes and clicks you there is a certain work gone behind the need to come to click us. It’s important to not make a big deal out of it."
