What Saif said
“The public and people are very interested in star children. I mean, look at Archies, for example. We have only been talking about certain (star child actors),” Saif said in the interview. The Archies marked the first film of actors Suhana Khan, the daughter of Shah Rukh Khan, Agastya Nanda, the maternal grandson of Amitabh Bachchan, and Khushi Kapoor, the youngest daughter of the late Sridevi.
He added that cameras have always followed his youngest sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan, also known as Jeh: “I mean, they are constantly photographed, they are constantly followed. Tomorrow, if someone wants to make a movie with one of them, it won’t be rocket science. Because someone obviously would be (thinking about his popularity). So we have to decide why this attention and where it comes from. There was Taimur who was practicing taekwondo, people photographed him and everything was on the Internet. We don’t want that kind of attention. We don’t make the star child. I mean, we could achieve it biologically (laughs), but what makes the child star is the press, the photographers and then the public. Maybe they just want to innocently see the star child. “So why is this such a (big deal)?”
About Saif’s children
Saif has four children. He has actors Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan from his first marriage to actress Amrita Singh. He and his wife and actress Kareena Kapoor are parents to Taimur and Jeh.
