Shutterbugs always give us a sneak peek of our favourite stars whenever they step out for an event. While most of the pictures are of the actors, a lot of times even star kids are clicked by the paparazzi. While a lot of the Bollywood parents are okay with it, a few are not and Abhishek Bachchan is one of them.
Aaradhya Bachchan who is six-years-old is snapped everywhere she goes. While mother Aishwarya Rai Bachchan hasn’t spoken about it, dad Abhishek opened up about how while growing up there was lesser media presence during his time.
Abhishek said,
When I was growing up, we didn’t have that amount of media around. But it is what it is. It’s here to stay. There’s nothing that you can do about it. I request them to leave the children alone. Let them just grow up normally and have a normal childhood. They (the kids) don’t understand what’s going around.
Abhishek further added that while his wife Aishwarya and him decided to be a part of this, Aaradhya didn’t.
Aishwarya and I decided to be actors. We decided to step into this world. It’s not Aaradhya’s choice. She’s our child. Let her grow up and decide. Then it’s okay. Let the children just be. They are too young. Let them have a normal life. That would be my request which I know would not happen. This is what it is. Now, you just have to learn to deal with it.
What are your thoughts about star kids being clicked?
