Talking about social media, how can we forget paparazzi’s favourite celebrity kid, Taimur Ali Khan. The aankhon ka taara of Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor has managed to charm everyone with his oh-so-cute looks. From the day he was born, little Tim was papped wherever he went and his adorable gestures to media has won many hearts. Whatever he does becomes news, from his cute dressing and twinning with mommy, Kareena to his friendly response to the paps, Taimur is all over the social media.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Kareena has revealed the concern for her little bundle of joy being photographed wherever he went. She said it makes her really worried that little Tim is followed by the media and has raised her concern over the same. She further revealed that it has affected him and revealed, "Of course (it affects them). Even if we want to take pictures, Taimur sometimes says 'No photos'. He has learnt to say that. He's constantly being watched and he realises he's being clicked now. This culture has been there for a while now and nobody is asking anyone not to do their job. But we are just asking for a little space because they are children and we want them to grow up in an environment which is safe and secure, where they can be the way they want to be."

However, Saif has time and again raised this issue and even slammed the media for their constantly clicking Taimur. Speaking about Saif’s reaction to the same, Kareena revealed, "He does, and tries to keep cool and calm. He requests them to give him his space and that's the only thing he can do, being a public figure. I don't want him to grow up in a way where I'm covering my child's face. I think that would scar him even more. He would be 'Why are you doing this?' That's not normal."
At an event, Kareena had revealed that her son is so habitual of the media taking his pictures that he doesn’t like it when his abba, Saif or she herself take his picture. Kareena also stated little Tim’s reaction whenever she tries to take his picture, he says, 'Amma, no pictures'. At the event, host Karan Johar asked Kareena whether Taimur has become too addicted to the media attention and whether he misses paps when they are not around, Kareena replied that Taimur thinks that paparazzi are his friends.
