Guess what… the bold and beautiful Priyanka Chopra Jones has done it again! She has gone against the ‘no kids pictures, please’ rule set by some celeb moms, and has proudly flaunted a picture of her cute little baby Malti Marie Chopra Jones on her social handle. …And the celeb moms of Tinsel Town are in a ‘tizz’.
In a ‘phobic’ era where so many celeb moms constantly shy away from posting pictures of their kids on their social handles, this is indeed a refreshing change. Remember how Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli berated the paparazzi for clicking a picture of their daughter Vamika, that too when Anushka and li’l Vamika were in the public domain watching a match papa Virat was playing? Virat put up a stern post requesting the media not to click or share images of their toddler, while Anushka screamed like a banshee at some of the photographers parked outside the gates of her building. Likewise, the ‘monkey love’ couple Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover for the longest time were putting hearts on their baby Devi’s face or showing off her pretty feet. New mom Alia Bhatt too has still not shared any pictures of her baby Raha though she insists when Raha is six months old, she will.
The ban on photographers by so many celeb moms is perhaps because of various reasons ranging from the age-old Indian superstition of ‘nazaar’ to ‘click crazy’ pesky paps who stalk and chase star kids. Remember how they used to chase little Taimur – in fact, at one point, editors of various magazines and portals were supposedly paying the highest for Taimur’s pictures – the rates were even higher than the price for blockbuster ‘Pathaan’ Shah Rukh Khan’s pictures.
So perhaps fearing such unwarranted attention on their kids, many celeb moms decided to draw the line and not bring their kids into the public eye. But PeeCee doesn’t follow norms or trends, does she? She sets them, right?
