The Audience Wants To See The Star Kids, Says Saif Ali Khan

‘The Media Is Always Behind Us’, Says Saif Ali Khan
The paparazzi are always behind Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s children, Taimur and Jehangir Ali Khan. He further added, “I mean they’re constantly being photographed, constantly being followed. Tomorrow, if someone wants to make a movie with one of them, it’s not rocket science. Because someone would obviously be doing that. So we have to decide why this attention and where it comes from (sic).”
Said Ali Khan further stated, “There was Taimur who was doing his taekwondo thing, people photographed him, and it was all over the internet. We don’t want that kind of attention. We don’t make the star kid. I mean, we might make it biologically, but what makes the star kid is the press, the photographers, and then the audience. Perhaps they just want to innocently see the star kid. So why is this such a big deal? (sic)”
