No escaping SRK

I admit I give up! I cannot compete with Shah Rukh Khan for my baby's attention. She is barely two-and-a-half years old but his biggest fan. Mind you, she has not seen any of his films. All she has seen are some of his songs, his pictures in the morning newspaper and some remarks about him made by my maid. That's all. That's enough for her to make her his biggest fan.

I am not exaggerating. The moment he is on screen, she swoons, she blushes and is all smiles. The first thing she does when the newspaper comes is to hunt for his picture. Then she caresses the picture, kisses it and stares at it as if it's a slice of gooey chocolate cake of the highest quality.

I agree SRK is a chocolate dish for most women but a two-and-a-half year old being so crazy about him is unfathomable. I knew a large part of SRK's success is his fan following with kids but kids of this age is a little too much to believe. But believe I have to as I am seeing it unfold in front of my eyes everyday.

I am paranoid about my daughter watching television. I strictly monitor what she consumes visually. There is no filmy talk in our house apart from our work. I am as much a fan of SRK as I am of other things in life but not to the point of no return.

Then when, where and how did he sneak into my daughter's life? How has he gained so much importance where even I, her mother, have to compete to get her attention? So much so that now to make her eat, we have to say that SRK is watching and if she eats he will be visiting our home. And that's enough for her to open her mouth. Phew!

I think this is one of the biggest challenges of parenting today - to keep Bollywood and its stars out of our homes. It's a mighty difficult task given the onslaught of Bollywood in every way possible. Earlier you had to go to a theatre to get a taste of these stars. Now they are everywhere, the Internet, the TV, the newspapers, on radio, in conversations, in schools, in birthday parties, just about everywhere.

I think our babies are growing up 7 to 8 years earlier than we did. I was crazy about a star when I was around 12 to 14 years old. My daughter has achieved that milestone at almost 3.

SRK must be smiling, I am not. Perhaps he is right when he sang, "Jaanam dekh lo mit gayi dooriyan, mai yahan hu, yahan hu, yahan hu yahan". He is literally everywhere. Once again it is proven that nothing sells like SRK. Because if a baby is sold on you, the whole family will eat out of your hands.

I envy SRK, almost hate him but then how can I hate the man my baby loves the most? God, wasn't I supposed to think of this question once she was 18 yrs old or more.
