Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are the coolest parents in Tinseltown. The duo, who are parents to their sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan, often give out sheer family goals. From going on international trips together to hosting parties and family gatherings, Saif and Kareena have always been on their toes to familiarise their son with their surroundings. Moreover, Taimur and Jeh enjoy a fan base of their own and people simply go gaga over their cute antics and adorable looks.
Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are one such parents in Tinseltown, who have never really shied away from revealing the faces of their sons, Taimur and Jehangir to the world. Moreover, they have made their sons comfortable and get familarised with the growing paparazzi culture. According to a report by BollywoodLife, the couple have now issued a special request to the paparazzi, asking them not to click the pictures of their children, particularly when they are unaccompanied by their parents, or are in their safe places, like schools, playgrounds or their building premises. In a note issued by the celeb couple, Kareena and Saif expressed:
“While both Kareena and Saif have never stopped any media from clicking their children while they are with them, this request rightfully comes to protect the kids’ privacy and safety to not click them while they are unaccompanied by their parents.”

In an interaction with ABP News earlier, Kareena Kapoor credited her husband, Saif Ali Khan, for helping her deal with the kind of frenzy media attention their children, Taimur and Jehangir get by the paparazzi. The actress revealed that her hubby advised her to deal with it patiently, and acknowledge the fact that they cannot run away from it. She added:
“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.”
In yet one of her other interviews in a media conference, Kareena Kapoor remembered her son, Taimur’s innocent reaction about the entire idea of getting clicked by the paparazzi. The doting mom revealed how she always explained to her son that his parents get clicked by the paparazzi because they are in movies. However, in retrospect, Taimur innocently questioned Kareena why he gets clicked by the paparazzi, despite the fact that he is not famous like his parents.

Previously, during an interaction with the Mid-Day, Kareena Kapoor opened up about her and Saif Ali Khan’s decision right from the beginning, for not hiding away the faces of both their sons, Taimur and Jehangir. She explained:
“I think each parent can choose what they want for their child. For me if he is coming out with me, you are going to click him. I didn’t want to cover his face. I felt if I would cover his face, I would scar him. He will be like, ‘Why are you doing that?’ That would have an adverse effect as well and I don’t want that.”
