Taimur Ali Khan too small to deal with excessive media coverage: Sharmila Tagore

via Facebook

Taimur Ali Khan makes news. Every smile, laugh and move of the star kid is closely monitored and photographed by paparazzi at every occasion possible. And the trend is here to say, it appears.

A few days ago, Kareena Kapoor had said she and Saif Ali Khan do not believe in stopping the paparazzi from clicking pictures of Taimur Ali Khan, but asked the media to be a a little more responsible.

Now, Taimur Ali Khan's grandmother, Sharmila Tagore too has expressed her apprehensions about the excessive coverage of her grandson on the media. She reportedly said she believes that children should not be exposed to such coverage and added that Taimur is too small to deal with it.

According to media reports, Sharmila Tagore said in the age of social media, hardly anything can be done about the undue paparazzi frenzy over her grandson and added that they will have to live with the reality.

When asked about Taimur being regularly featured on Page 3, she said although she could be happy about it, such publicity would not be very good for the child.

Earlier, speaking about the issue, Kareena Kapoor had said, “In Hollywood, they don’t allow children’s faces to come (publish). But because Saif and I took the modern approach, we can’t do that.”

She further said said both Saif and her don’t want to to cover Taimur’s face when they are out as it will “probably scar him more.”

“He would think ‘what is happening?’ I don’t want him to grow up in that fear. I want him to grow up and fly, that’s what parents want their children to do. I can’t keep him away,” she added.
