Kareena Kapoor Says Saif Ali Khan Helped Her 'Deal With Media Attention' On Taimur: 'Can't Run Away...'

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan are one of the most beloved Bollywood couples in the country. The couple and their kids, Taimur and Jeh, often get papped around town and their fans are very invested in how these stars spend their day. Recently, Kareena opened up about the media attention that Taimur receives and how Saif helped her cope with it.

Speaking to ABP News, Kareena said, “I think the only way I could deal with the media attention on Taimur was to actually be chilled about it because if I were hyper about it – which maybe I was inside – or openly expressed what I was feeling, I feel somewhere, it would have affected Taimur.”

“If he (Taimur) was aware that something was upsetting me or I was affected by too many cameras around him, if I kept stressing over ‘Kya kar raha hai? Kyun photo le rahe?’ (What is he doing? Why are they taking pictures of Taimur?) or I told the photographer, ‘Photo mat lo!’ (Don’t take pictures)’, it would have left a lasting impact on him,” Kareena said.

“’We can’t run away from this’,” Saif told me. He believes that instead of trying to scare him further, let’s just take it in our stride and just walk with your head down outside the airport or wherever it is. After a certain age, Taimur will understand — which he does even now — that his parents are famous. He’s quite easy about it,” added Kareena.

Speaking about her social media presence, Kareena said, “Some things should be preserved, should be kept a little bit for the unknown. So that feeling of okay, do we really know her or most people assume that I am either Geet or Pooh and I made them believe that could be a possibility but there is a side to me that I like to keep a little private.”

“I think that somewhere, it (being private) keeps my, like I said mental health, my mental stability because I think if everything is just left for the known and you know, for judgment, I don’t know how we’ll survive as actors,” Kareena added.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Kareena will soon be seen in Crew with Tabu and Kriti Sanon.
