Saif Ali Khan explains how audiences make star kids; talks about not wanting similar attention for Taimur
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan in a recent interview opened up about everyone's obsession with Taimur Ali Khan and star kids.
Bollywood fans are always eager to know every little detail about their beloved stars, and it's no surprise that their fan base is enormous. Interestingly, the children of these stars have their own separate fan following. Sometimes, these star kids even steal the limelight from their famous parents. Speaking of which, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan, the children of Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, are undeniably among the most popular star kids. However, in a recent interview, the Dil Chahta Hai actor confessed that he isn't fond of this kind of attention.
Saif Ali Khan on everyone’s obsession with star kids
In an interview with Film Companion, Anupama Chopra spoke about everyone obsessing over star kids. To this Saif Ali Khan replied, “The audience and people are so interested in star kids. They are constantly being photographed, constantly being followed. I mean tomorrow someone wants to make a movie with one of them it’s not rocket science. So, you have to decide why this attention and where it comes from.”
Talking about the attention that his son Taimur Ali Khan receives, Saif Ali Khan further added, “Taimur was doing a taekwondo thing and people were photographing him and making reels. So we don’t want that kind of attention.” Having said that, Saif further quipped, “So we don’t make the star kid, the star kid is made. I mean we might make him biologically but what makes the star kid is the press and then the photographers and then the audience who perhaps quite innocently just want to see a star kid.”
Kareena concluded by saying, “You might have a last name but it doesn’t mean you have talent.”
