Baby Jeh is six months old and his pix go viral
Mumbai– His alleged name was the target of trolling on Twitter some days back, but when Baby Jeh‘s proud mother, Kareena Kapoor Khan, shared his picture cradled in her arms in the Maldives, the serene blue sea overlooking them as he turned six months old, they elicited more than one million likes in a matter of minutes.
Kareena, whose “Pregnancy Bible” is just out, her husband Saif Ali Khan and their first son, Taimur, were holidaying along with Jeh in the Maldives. They returned to Mumbai on Sunday. And as they were leaving the airport, the paparazzi shot close-up pictures of Jeh being led away by the family help. The picture was at once splashed by the Kareena Kapoor Khan FC (fan community) on Twitter.
Earlier on Saturday, when Kareena put up her mother-and-child Instagram post, greeting them with emojis and lots of love were the Bollywood glitterati, from Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh to Manish Malhotra and Amrita Arora.
In her caption, Kareen wrote: “Love, happiness, and courage to you always. Happy 6 months my life.”
Kiara Advani: My parents want to know what’s written about me
Mumbai– Actress Kiara Advani, who is receiving a lot of praise for her performance in the recently released ‘Shershaah’, says that her parents always read comments on social media about their daughter.
As the actress is always being scrutinised by the netizens, asked about how her family responded to that, Kiara said, “I ignore it (mean comments) as it does somewhere affect me. I want to have a normal day, and I don’t want to go into reading comments….we’re also humans. Sometimes I think, ‘oh my mom will read it, my father will read it and they don’t like it,’ and they do (read it).
“My parents hashtag Kiara Advani every day, they want to know what is been written about me, what my fans are saying about me…they enjoy it. I tell my mom to ignore it, but she tells me that she wants to know what is being said about me. So when you talk about culture, I believe that being respectful to one another is an important part of it. People should understand ‘ki yeh (actors) bhi insaan hai, inke bhi emotions hote hai’, they are sensitive, and there must be a reason behind it.”
Kiara was having a conversation with actor and talk-show host Arbaaz Khan for his digital show ‘Pinch By Arbaaz Khan Season 2’. The episode will be releasing this week on QuPlay’s YouTube Channel, on ZEE5 and on MyFM.
