In that sense, would you also consider SRK just talking about AbRam or any of his children in an interview a way for him to showcase himself as a good father and a family man? Because he does that, in every interview. Since years. And again with Aryan and Suhana, he never hid them from the cameras. They have been out there as much as Abram since they were born. So does that make all of them his trophy kids?
And to swing it the other way, why can't he take his children outside? No matter what he does or where he goes, SRK is obviously going to be clicked. Where wouldn't Abram be captured? Is it really necessary to question every single action that an actor decides to take even in his personal life? He's going to a cricket match, and he wants to take his children with him. Why should that be such an issue? No comments on Aryan...that poor kid gets majorly judged even when he's not doing anything. We see a second of these kids' life, we need to stop making far-fetched assumptions.
But then again, based on where your judgement comes from, it really doesn't matter in the end.
Do I think all 3 of them are trophy kids? No. But do I personally agree when a celebrity talks about their kids, especially small kids? I suppose it depends on context, but overall no. I always feel that there is some kind of a PR angle when stars bring up their kids in interviews. And I also think they lose some argument for privacy when they choose to put things out there themselves.
But yes I do have stronger opinions about him doing this, than I would others. Like I said above and like you deduced, I do have my own opinions and perceptions about the last few years of his personal life and decisions so that's where my judgment comes from.
Quick note about Aryan, I wasn't judging him. I was actually judging his father. It was obvious the kid didn't want to interact. To me that seemed like a total shot for the camera thing. My opinion and my perception.
