I cannot imagine what it is to have a camera thrust in your face from when you are a kid, people screaming your name whom you don't know, being friendly to you to get to your famous parent. Kids of famous people did not ask for this. I get that. They are quick to talk about that. But whom do you blame that on ?
In the West you have mothers like Halle Berry and Jennifer Garner fight for legislation to protect their kids from unwanted attention. They practice what they preach. They don't ever walk the red carpet with their kids, rarely if ever take them to award shows, don't put pictures of them on social media, don't ever do family covers. You will never see a child like Taimur who smiles when the paparazzi calls his name or have a kid of a celeb interact with fans like Shah makes Abram do. It's a different culture. Bu then you have a different expectation of privacy.
In HW, kids don't take it as a right to follow their parents into movies. Will Smith tried, spectacularly backfired. In BW, you get bizarre arguments as to why it is right or why a Vogue cover for someone who is not a celeb or a socialite or a model is ok. When you want the good things of fame, you cannot complain about the bad things. Have some gratitude at the privilege you have. Statements about how difficult their life is on an undeserved cover only makes people mock them.
Perhaps Suhana is not ready, then shame on Shah and Gauri for thrusting her into the spotlight even if she wanted it. Shah seems to want to live vicariously through his kids IDK. He is no fool, he knows very well how this cover would be received. Question is why he put his barely 18 year old in the glare of the spotlight without a reason like a debut.
