Celebrity children kept away from the spotlight

IT’S never easy being the kid of a celebrity.

With media outlets willing to pay you millions of dollars to publish the first image of your child, there is a whole world waiting to catch a glimpse as these babies grow into young adults.

Keeping their children out of the spotlight is a challenge for many celebrity parents.

Nonetheless, here are a few Bollywood stars’ kids who maintain an arm’s length from the paparazzi.

Arin and Rayaan Dixit: Madhuri Dixit Nene’s children spent a large part of their childhood in Denver, US, away from the glare of the media in India. Even after returning to home base in Mumbai, Dixit managed to keep her children, Arin and Rayaan, under wraps for a long time. Today, not much is known about the boys, though she admits the fuss around her sometimes leaves the kids frazzled.

Azad Khan: Although Aamir Khan’s older children are set to make their Bollywood debuts, Azad, his youngest, is in a different league. He and ex-wife, Kiran Rao, have been extremely protective of him since his birth in 2011. In fact, the little boy was eight months old when he was first noticed in public.

Vivaan and Samisha Kundra: Despite the media’s desire to know every detail of her life, Shilpa Shetty has managed to keep her children, Vivaan and Samisha, safe from prying eyes.

Aarav and Nitaara Kumar: Akshay Kumar and his wife, Twinkle Khanna, have managed to keep their children, Aarav and Nitaara, completely private and refuse to allow the paparazzi to trail them. When it comes to maintaining their kids’ privacy, this couple is the epitome of success.

Adira Chopra: Rani Mukerji credits her husband, Aditya Chopra, for keeping their daughter safe from the media. Chopra, who is a private person, is particular about ensuring that no pictures of their daughter, Adira, are published in any medium, including print or television. In fact, the director himself is rarely photographed by the paparazzi.
