WTF Wednesday: Did we just hear Taimur saying media? Is it time to step back a little?

Taimur Ali Khan is the nation's darling. While most of us will agree that he is our daily dose of cuteness, we have to accept that he is a kid at the end of the day and has every right to a normal childhood. Recently, we saw him at the airport with mom Kareena Kapoor Khan and dad Saif Ali Khan. They were all travelling to South Africa for an ad shoot and to ring in his second birthday. We can hear Taimur saying something as he rides on dad Saif Ali Khan's shoulders and it sounds distinctly like "Media, media!" While we are unsure if he indeed says media or not, the constant focus on him is somewhat worrisome. The little fellow sees the paps every day and it is evident that he recognises them by their faces. As it is usual for tiny tots, he smiles whenever he sees a familiar face. Every move of Taimur right from his journey to playschool and feeding a cow is clicked by the paparazzi. There is a huge demand for his pictures, which was testified by Karan Johar on his chat show.

However, one must note that the little one's celeb status is worrying. It becomes evident when anyone tries to get a selfie clicked or makes a conversation. It is a huge safety concern as well for the parents. Yes, he has bodyguards around, but still. Moreover, he has started greeting the paparazzi, something that has the parents anxious. Kareena has often said that they want to give a normal childhood to Taimur. "I think it is a bit much, but there is nothing that I can do about it. But I would want him NOT to have so much attention. As parents, we do not say much, but we hope that he has as normal a childhood as I wanted him to have. Right now, he does not understand it (the media attention), but at some point, we will make him understand it. I think it is all because of the lights, he is trying to figure out what is this," she had said.

It will still take some time for Taimur to figure out what this is all about, but media can surely exercise some caution.
