It won’t be an exaggeration to say that actor Kareena Kapoor‘s seven-year-old son Taimur Ali Khan gets more attention than many established actors in Bollywood. And Kareena has been extremely vocal about why she never hid her kids’ faces from the paparazzi. In a recent interview, Kareena shared that Taimur wonders if he is a ‘VIP’ but Kareena keeps reminding him that he is getting all this attention because of his parents.

In an interview with Forbes India, Kareena was asked about Taimur’s reaction to photographers in Mumbai and she said, “I think now, he is obviously used to it. But it’s difficult because… I mean if you kind of tell him that ‘hide your face, don’t do this, don’t do that’, I think that would be too much. So, in a way, we have tried to explain directly to him that they are taking your pictures because your parents are actors, your parents are famous. You are not.”

Kareena, who is also mother to two-year-old Jeh Ali Khan, shared that Taimur asks her a lot of questions about the photographers that surround them and said, “So, he keeps asking me that, ‘Am I VIP?’ and I am like ‘no, you are not. May be your parents are… I don’t know. But you are not, you are nothing’. So he is like growing with this to understand that ‘my parents are this. I don’t know why they keep clicking me. I need to do something with my life’. So we are being very honest with him,” said the actor.

Kareena is currently on a holiday with her family. After bathing in the winter sun at the Pataudi Palace, she along with her family, have jetted off to their favourite destination, Switzerland.

On the work-front, Kareena was recently seen in Sujoy Ghosh’s Jaane Jaan, for which she received a lot of acclaim. Next, she has Hansal Mehta’s thriller The Buckingham Murders, Rhea Kapoor’s The Crew and director Rohit Shetty’s Singham Returns.
