It is a rare thing for celebrities to not get clicked by either fans or photographers when they step out of their homes. However this isn’t limited to the stars themselves but also extends to their families. Star kids are almost always captured by the press wherever they go no matter how much they try to avoid it. Shah Rukh Khan recently asked a photographer to not be harsh towards the kids and also spoke about it in an interview.

It is a rare thing for celebrities to not get clicked by either fans or photographers when they step out of their homes. However this isn’t limited to the stars themselves but also extends to their families. Star kids are almost always captured by the press wherever they go no matter how much they try to avoid it. Shah Rukh Khan recently asked a photographer to not be harsh towards the kids and also spoke about it in an interview.

“This is the part of stardom that we all have accepted,” he told Pinkvilla. “I think everything in today’s time and age is a fair game. It isn’t just the celebrity kids. I say this – we have sold our souls for selfies. Many a times I’m in trouble and my team tells me, ‘you can’t do this, that person will attack’. But I say, it’s just a selfie. Go take a selfie and it’ll all be done. I’m not showing off. This is what life has become.”

Speaking about his kids, Khan shared, “Initially, the kids started feeling awkward with all the paraphernalia, the cars. Every time I go out in a public place, I don’t take them with me. With all due respect I’m a star and I expect everyone to rush on to me. I don’t expect that to happen to my family. Attention is something one has to earn, you have to do something for it. I explained this to my kids and they also understand that just because you are photographed, it doesn’t make you important at all,” the actor concluded.
