Celeb kids get the royal touch

After Shah Rukh's son Aryan and Saif's daughter Sara, Sushmita's 14-year-old daughter Renee too gears up for her education in a prestigious school in London

If you are a star kid, you must be headed to London. At least that's what the trend suggests. After Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan went to Seven Oaks, Sushmita Sen's elder daughter, 14-year-old Renee is all set to move to UK for further education. According to sources, star parents prefer the British capital when it comes to sending their kids out of sin-city Mumbai.

Speaking from the city the proud and nervous mother Sush told us, "I am in London with Renee as we speak. I've brought her here for a school interview. It's an outstanding school and will be perfect for her higher education. She will join this school from next year. She will be in Class 9. How quickly time flies!"

And though Renee wants to be an actor when she grows up, according to sources, her mother wants to keep her out of the limelight for the time being. "Here's my deal with her: she must first complete her education," said Sush.

And this has been the main reason for most celebrity parents for sending their kids abroad. According to a source close to Shah Rukh, the primary reason for packing off Aryan to London was to take him away the from the intense media glare. "Shah Rukh enrolled Aryan at the Sevenoaks School, which is just an half an hour drive from Central London. It is one of the most famous schools there. If we heard Shah Rukh correctly then he plans to send his daughter Suhana to the same school too," added the source.

Incidentally, Saif Ali Khan's daughter Sara too is studying in the same city. "She will only return to Mumbai when she is done with her studies. Bollywood may or may not happen after that," a source close to Saif told. It was apparently Saif's ex-wife Amrita Singh's decision to pack off Sara to London to take her away from the glare of Bollywood.

"It's about the quality of education which is great in some of the schools there. Also an additional advantage is that London doesn't require such a long flight as opposed to the US. There are no stop-overs either. I also opted for London when it came to choosing a high school for my daughter," Queenie Singh who enrolled her teenage daughter in a London college extolled the virtues of studying in UK. Her daughter has however, opted for a college in Singapore since then.

According to Queenie, London had always been one of the most preferred destinations for star kids because of several other factors. "Siddhartha Mallya grew up there, Shwetha Bachchan also went to London to study. It's always been on the map," she told us.
