Let's be honest, Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi is no ordinary baby. He was born with a silver spoon, to star parents who can afford any luxury for him and he is constantly surrounded by the paparazzi; making him somewhat of a star as well.
But it looks like this he will not be enjoying any more celebrityhood because Saif and Kareena have decided to settle him away from India for good.
Yes, you read that right.
If all goes as per their plan, you'll have to say your goodbyes to the cutest star kid now, because you won't be seeing him in a long time.
"We have decided to send him to a nice boarding school"
In a candid interview, Saif Ali Khan revealed that along with Kareena, he has decided to send Taimur away to a boarding school in London for his own good.
He added that the family was extremely worried for Taimur given all the unnecessary attention he is getting and plan to put an end to it.
"He has innocence in his eyes, there is nothing pretentious, but yes I am worried about him. I and Kareena have already discussed the stardom he already has around him and we have decided to send him to a nice boarding school in England. It will hopefully do the trick. It has done for everybody in the family,’ shared the concerned father.
"Kareena will not be impressed if he is spoilt"
He also added that since with all this luxury comes callousness sometimes, both him and Kareena do not want him to end up like a spoilt brat.
‘’Kareena is going to be a very good mother. She will not be impressed if he is spoilt,’’ he further added.
He also added, "Taimur will have to be aware that he is being watched all the time. He will have a lot of privileges as well. I think life has a wonderful way to balance it out, so if he has all the wonderful privileges he will also have certain responsibilities."
"Maybe he will find his calling in another field"
Khan also shared a similar concern that he previously spoke about concerning his daughter Sara's decision to become an actor. He again hope that Taimur finds better guidance and is not drawn to choosing the life of an actor.
"There will be certain expectations out of him. Maybe all that will force him to become an actor. I hope that with the right guidance, maybe he will find his calling in another field," shared the Chef star.
"I’m worried about him in the sense that he has already become a star, and that people love him so much. There’s going to be pressure on him. Bad luck he’ll have to figure out himself," Khan added.
The Pataudis are clearly in no mood to have all this stardom get to Taimur nor do they have any intention of making him an actor. But one things' for sure, they are willing to support him in all his choices, just as any regular parent would. If you're wondering how to nurture your child's dream as well, here's how you can begin as stated in previous article.
3 ways to nurture and support your child's passion
- Understand your child's unique interests: The most way to let your child follow his or her dreams is to first understand their dreams and their unique interests. Instead of doing what everybody else is doing, get to know your child better and don't force them to participate in the race of life.
- Let them think outside the box: We often categorise out kids and force them into organised sports and activities, but sometimes passion lies in the most unlikely of places. Let them explore their interests that may include painting or stitching as opposed to cricket or something else.
- Nurture optimism: Encourage your kids to get up after they fail and nurture optimism in them. Remember that optimistic children have the tendency to pick up after themselves and learn from their failures and we need kids who can learn from their mistakes in order to make a better world.
