During an interview with Mid-day recently, she talked about Taimur 'unwantedly' facing the cameras since he was a kid. Kareena said, "There is no reason why there is so much attention on him. His parents are stars, not him. He is very unaffected by it. He is a smart boy."
"Each parent can choose what they want for their child. I knew if he was coming out with me, he was going to be clicked. I never covered his face. I did not want him to be scarred. That could have an adverse affect on him as well," she said.
The Kapoor family members are often caught in the middle of the nepotism debate. "We have had our fair share of complete disasters and debacles. But you have to constantly keep coming back trying to do something different and if that wouldn’t be the case, then we wouldn’t be at this interview today. It's also because of some choices that I have made, some films that I have dared to do," Kareena argued.
Kareena acknowledges the fact that she had the privilege of being on a movie set when she was young. "I will always say that that advantage is definitely there. Especially someone like me, who has been on sets with Karisma, is definitely very lucky. But maybe that’s like 1% of the advantage. I might have been there to see what’s happening on the set but I have not faced the camera. I haven’t shown my talent. So, that you can’t take away from someone. It's an X factor. Look at Shah Rukh Khan. It is an X factor, you either have it or you don’t."
