“Tomorrow, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma will have a child and Taimur might be relegated,” Sharmila Tagore said during an interview with her daughter-in-law Kareena Kapoor Khan.

To this, Bebo replied: “I hope so.”

Veteran actress Sharmila Tagore was the first guest of the second season of Kareena’s chat show: “What women want”. Sharmila addressed the issue on Taimur being the favorite paparazzi kid.

Sharmila said: “Social media is a concern. Your child would be shaped by many influences. You won’t be able to control those influences. Later on, when he is grown up enough to actually access social media, he will be bombarded with so much information. I feel what the media does is builds you up and then suddenly dumps you.”

She continued: “At Taimur’s age, it doesn’t really matter because he is very, very young. But if he is seven or eight, and he continues to be a rage as he is now, then if he is dumped, it would matter. Also, the effect he will have on his peer group… They may like it or may not. I think you guys (Saif and Kareena), not me, have to sort it out. That’s the advantage of being a grandmother; we don’t have any responsibilities.

The two-year-old’s parents have always been concerned about the growing attention that Tamiur receives.

Saif Ali Khan is also noticed often scolding shutterbugs for clicking Taimur’s pictures.

“They’d hang around and they’d smoke so it starts looking a little unsavoury,” Saif said in an interview, and added that it was very ‘elegant’ of them to move on. “The cops came, and we had a chat about it, and they said ‘fine’,” Saif added.

At a Mumbai Film Festival conversation with filmmaker Karan Johar, Kareena said, “(Taimur) thinks paps are his friends. But when I want to take his photo, he says ‘Amma, no pictures’.”
