Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan's elder son Taimur, who happens to be a paparazzi favorite, was recently trolled online for asking the paps not to click him. He said ‘band karo’ as they had swarmed him for photographs while he was stepping out with his superstar parents.
In no time, the video went viral on social media, with several users criticizing Taimur's behaviour with the photographers.
However, Taimur's uncle Kunal Kemmu came out in support of his nephew and said that the paparazzi culture should be toned down around children. “I think it’s also the people who sit there wanting to comment on this, they need to change. It’s very easy to sit and give comments. What I love about kids is they don’t care and they don’t have to be diplomatic. If they don’t like something, they’re like ‘I don’t want it.'"
“A kid is a kid. He can do whatever he/she wants, or whatever he/she wants. Now if you are going to come into their face and take a picture, and now somebody has a problem with how the kid is behaving, then it’s that person’s problem. Nobody is going to tell the kid that ‘oh why are you doing this.’ Earlier he couldn’t speak and he was in somebody’s lap and somebody was clicking and he couldn’t do anything. Now if he doesn’t like it he is going to say it,” Kunal added.
Expressing shock at the episode, Saif Ali Khan's elder sister Saba Pataudi also slammed trolls for being too harsh on Taimur.
On her Instagram story, Saba wrote, “Today, he is a young boy. As I am protective of all the kids, this is so surprising that I was equally shocked at people trolling a 5-year-old boy! You chase the children and then when they are simply real and honest, the same cute becomes criticism. How come? Children are growing up. They will change, evolve and learn. Let them be. You don’t need to be a fan or a fanatic critic. God bless all kids, yours and ours. Amen.”
