Kareena Kapoor says Taimur refuses to let her take his pictures

Kareena Kapoor admitted to Karan Johar while chatting ahead of the Jio MAMI Film Fest 2019 that her son Taimur Ali Khan refuses to let her take his pictures. 

During the pre-jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival event 2019, the star, during the course of her conversation with Karan Johar, revealed that her son Taimur does not like her to take pictures of him. 

She also stated “He thinks paps are his friends. But when I want to take his photo, he says ‘Amma, no pictures’”. 

 Karan was quick to chime into the conversation saying, “Taimur thinks you are Viral Bhayani.” This was pleasantly amusing for the audience.

She further talked about how polite the paparazzi have been, even during times when Saif would get annoyed or irritated with them and tell them to stop, they would comply.

Both Kareena, Alia Bhatt and Karan further spoke on a few other issues, the biggest of which being the pay disparity between female and male stars. 

Karan asked her if she had ever walked out on a film, solely due to the issue of unequal pay, Kareena commented on the wage gap stating, “There were probably different reasons of walking out of films, but not because of this particular reason. I’d love to get paid as much as my male co-stars though”

During the conversation, further down the line Kareena joked out loud, “Please pay me as much as you paid Akshay Kumar, I’ll run out of MAMI!”

Karan handled her comment in an unexpected way, by explaining the complex pay disparity which is prevalent as well as the economics of movies which is “lesser known by people who don’t understand the business and how it functions”.

Kareena will soon be seen on the big screen in Karan’s own production alongside co-stars Akshay Kumar, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani. The comedy movie revolves around the theme of a couple who are desperately trying to have a baby. 

Kareena will also be seen in a sequel to the hit 2017 movie, Hindi Medium, which stars Irrfan Khan. This movie is important as it marks Irrfan’s return to the big screen after receiving treatment for cancer.

Kareena Kapoor’s plans don’t end there, early within the next year she is scheduled to begin shooting for a Karan Johar directional, Takht which includes a riveting cast, including Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Bhumi Pednekar, Anil Kapoor and Janvhi Kapoor.
