New Delhi: Oh, how the tables have turned! The star kids of Bollywood are now as much in the spotlight as their famous parents. Whether it’s Suhana Khan or little Taimur, the fascination never ends. And let’s not forget Kareena Kapoor Khan with her adorable munchkins, Jeh and Taimur. Social media is flooded with their pictures and videos, and the paparazzi are always in a frenzy to capture every fleeting moment. But let’s talk about the paparazzi culture spiraling out of control in India, shall we? Our very own celebrity photographer, Varinder Chawla, recently spilled the beans on this epidemic of privacy invasion. He even recounted a particularly harrowing incident involving Taimur and Saif Ali Khan.
Varinder got candid in an interview with YouTuber Ishan, reminiscing about a time when both Kareena and Saif were genuinely scared by the paparazzi’s relentless pursuit of their son. The ‘Hum Tum’ star had to step in and put his foot down. Oh, the drama! 🕵️♀️
One Day Without Taimur’s Photo? The Horror!
Varinder revealed that there was a time when if they didn’t post pictures of Taimur, fans would flood their comments with, “Where’s Taimur’s photo today?” It was like a daily dose of cuteness that the public couldn’t live without. This obsession was partly because Kareena and Saif initially allowed it, making Taimur’s cuteness a national treasure. But then things got out of hand.
24/7 Taimur Surveillance
According to Varinder, one of Kareena’s best qualities was her patience with photographers. She never said no to them. They would spot Taimur outside the house, and she wouldn’t mind. But as the demand for Taimur’s pictures grew, the paparazzi started following him everywhere. Literally. School, tuition, playtime – you name it, they were there. It got so invasive that Saif and Kareena had to request the paparazzi to back off from certain places like his school and tuition classes.
The 40-50 People Fiasco
Varinder recalled a particularly shocking incident when he saw around 40-50 people chasing Taimur’s bike as he was going for his tuition. It was like a scene from a thriller movie. People were climbing gates and surrounding the car, almost as if they were about to attack. Varinder was so shaken by this that he realized how wrong and dangerous this had become.
Saif’s Showdown
When Saif got wind of this madness, he made a call and said, “Stop this right now.” That was the day Varinder decided to draw a line. He understood the need to set boundaries and respect the private lives of celebrities.
Nisha’s Nutshell:
In Bollywood, even toddlers can’t escape the limelight. So, the moral of the story? If you’re born into a star family, get ready for a lifetime of flashing cameras and zero privacy. And for the paparazzi? Maybe invest in some hobbies that don’t involve stalking children. Just a thought! 😜
