Soha Ali Khan calls it ‘practical’ to accept paparazzi as she reacts to Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt’s decision to keep Raha away: ‘We’ve chosen to be…’

Last month, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt politely asked photographers not to take photos of their daughter Raha, in response to an incident involving Saif Ali Khan. A few days later, Soha Ali Khan, who is also a mother to a 7-year-old daughter, expressed her thoughts on the subject.

During an interview with News 18, Soha Ali Khan shared that she and her husband, Kunal Kemmu, often engage in similar discussions. However, they maintain a respectful relationship with the paparazzi. She recounted an instance when they were taking their daughter, Inaaya Naumi Kemmu, for swimming; the paparazzi agreed not to take photos of them after being asked politely.

As a lifestyle aficionado, I’m proud to say that respect remains a cornerstone of my personal and professional life, unlike some high-profile industries. I’m genuinely grateful for the journey so far, as I haven’t yet reached a point where such values might be compromised.

The 99 actress explained that since we’ve decided to be in the public eye, our children haven’t. Consequently, I believe they shouldn’t have to deal with it. However, it’s an inevitable aspect of life. Instead of battling against it, it’s wiser to acknowledge it and discuss this attention with your child, she said, explaining that people are drawn to take their photos due to a specific interest in them.

The actress from Rang De Basanti proposed an additional approach for parents: they should reassure their children that there’s no need to fear or feel upset about certain situations. If, however, the child feels uneasy, a resolution can be found together. She also acknowledged that modern technology, particularly social media, has made parenting all the more difficult.

Soha emphasized the importance of creating a fresh environment in which parents serve as a wellspring of affection and guidance for their offspring. Moreover, she discussed the extensive influence children experience due to social media platforms. She underscored that potential dangers lurk worldwide, with individuals exploiting vulnerable minds.

To wrap things up, I’ve learned from Soha the immense significance of keeping a watchful eye and being actively engaged in my kids’ lives. This vigilance is crucial to spotting any discomfort they might be experiencing at school or elsewhere that could potentially affect their physical well-being.

She noted that it’s important to catch it early before it gets out of hand, but she understands it can be challenging due to external validation sources, such as followers.
