We live in a society, where being seen with a celeb is considered something to be proud of and their fans and followers consider the same to be a badge of pride and honour. We understand the notion behind following your favourite celebs and trying to take a picture with them and putting the same on the social media handle to get unlimited likes and share. In the race of getting more likes and shares on social media, we sometimes forget that celebs too have a personal life and they might not like getting clicked every time. The similar incident happened with the Nawab of Pataudi, Saif Ali Khan. (Recommended Read: Amitabh Bachchan Reminisces Good Old Days In An Unseen Video With Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Teji, Jaya)

After the exit from the airport, the trio was crowded by the fans and followers in the constant demand of pictures with them. Saif, who is otherwise cool with the fans lost his temper and requested them not to click the pictures, but the crowd didn’t give them the way and were constantly touching them and clicking them. A persistent fan was seen walking beside Saif and continuously taking pictures. An irritated Saif lost his cool and pulled his arm down before he made his way towards his car.

Saif Ali Khan has always been vocal about the constant media glare on his kids and how it becomes difficult for the parents to give their child a normal life due to the same. In an interview with the Bombay Times, Saif had opened up about the kind of attention Taimur gets from the paparazzi. Talking about whether the paparazzi culture has any negative impact on Taimur, Saif had said, “I would love it if Taimur could grow up just as a normal kid and be allowed to… Look, like you said we are really privileged and nobody is really complaining. I love the press, in fact, the press has been very kind to move away from our house; they used to be stationed right opposite here. Yes, they do give him attention. Luckily, he seems to be very sweet and normal, and he has not gotten affected in some strange way by it." He had also added that he would be really happy if his son doesn’t get any attention and is treated as a normal child.
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan are very well aware of the popularity of their son, Taimur Ali Khan. The moment Taimur steps out of his house, paparazzi follows him everywhere and just won’t stop clicking his pictures and his father, Saif can't stand the constant media glares on him. In fact, once police had to intervene outside Saif’s house and disperse the paparazzi from there. Saif had spoken about the same in an interview with the Hindustan Times and had said, “Yes, the cops cleared the paparazzi because someone complained. Not me. I can’t say I feel kindly about their presence, because 10 people lounging about outside your house waiting for a shot of your kid is disturbing to say the least. I didn’t complain because I don’t want to deprive anyone of a job.”
In an interview with the Hindustan Times, Saif Ali Khan had talked about the cordial relationship that he and his family shares with the paparazzi and had said, “We have always shared a very respectful relationship with the paparazzi. We understand that it’s their livelihood. However, it’s important to understand that kids should enjoy the basic right of growing up in a normal atmosphere out of and away from the constant media glare. I believe I am well within my right as a father to choose to not pose for the cameras when I have my son with me or to inform the photographers that the constant flashes can hurt his eyes. As media figures, we have to live with the attention, and we accept that. But our kids shouldn’t be subjected to it.” (Must Read: Ex-Bigg Boss Contestants Ashmit Patel And Maheck Chahal Call Off Their Engagement, Details Inside)
