Obsession Over Celebrity Kids: Of course, their parents are famous and everything related to famous celebrities is a gold mine for the internet. Getting to know about what they eat, where they spend their vacations, what people they are dating, how their kids look like. Since the demand for such content is so high, paparazzi are seen literally chasing for the children's pictures. Isn't it problematic?
They haven't grown up yet and have already become as famous as their parents and that too only because of the society's and paparazzi's obsession. People nowadays may not be sure about their future, but they are definitely interested in knowing whether Anushka Sharma had a boy or a girl or what will be the name of Taimur Ali Khan's younger brother.
We made Taimur an overnight celebrity, his fandom is even so that the dolls that look like Taimur had come into the market, we got to know about this through a tweet posted by producer Ashvini Yardi. Many social media users shared their reactions to the picture. Some called it "ridiculous", some called out the little kids' privilege ( of course it's his fault that people are so obsessed with him that they are making his look-alike dolls), while some noticed that it's gone too far and people should just leave the kid alone (seriously).

Taimur Controversy: is it fair to a little kid?
It doesn't take a genius to guess why Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan decided to keep the identity of their second hidden. Not only this, apart from these, we also get to see so many videos and articles about them under the most bizarre headings. And the number of views on such content is proof that people actually want to watch that kind of stuff. Why?
Be it Jhanvi Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan or Ananya Pandey, even before they entered the industry, we knew who these people were. They didn't even need to introduce themselves. People just want to know: What do they eat? What do they wear? How do they spend their day? Do they go to the gym? Will they become actors too? And so much more.
But why? Why can’t we leave them alone and rather focus on what we should wear or eat?
The most important thing that makes such practices seem so problematic is the fact that neither the kids nor their parents give their consent to the paparazzi and they still keep clicking. Even when celebrities have requested the media to not click their child's picture, the photographers did not listen.
What impact will this have on the kids once they’re grown up? When Virat Kohli was asked by a fan to share his daughter's picture, he replied," No, we have decided as a couple to not expose our child to social media before she has an understanding of what social media is and can make her own choice."
Even Taimur said, "not allowed" when photographers were invading his privacy to click his pictures. So please change your ways!
