Lalita Dsilva, who served as the nanny to Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan (Jeh), has recently addressed rumors concerning her salary. There were speculations on social media suggesting that Lalita was paid around ₹2.5 lakh for her role. However, in a candid interview with Pinkvilla, Lalita debunked these claims. She stated, “₹2.5 lakh? I wish. May your words come true. These are all just rumours.” This statement clarifies that the reported amount was inaccurate.
Lalita also shared her experience regarding Kareena Kapoor’s response to these rumors. According to Lalita, Kareena dismissed the rumors with a light-hearted remark, saying, “These are all jokes, sister. Don’t take it all seriously.” Despite the misinformation, Lalita expressed gratitude and respect for Kareena and Saif. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, she praised Kareena’s parenting, describing her as an “amazing mother” who is highly disciplined. Lalita also commended Saif for being a hands-on father.
Handling Media Pressure and Ensuring Taimur’s Safety
During Taimur Ali Khan’s early public appearances, Lalita faced significant media and public pressure. She recounted how the intense media attention led her to manage the situation carefully. Lalita revealed, “There was pressure from the public and media. I would have to tell people ‘yeh baccha hai (he is a kid), don’t chase him, why are you behaving like this.’” She added that she often had to advise other parents to focus on their own children and not just on Taimur, emphasizing, “I had to tell mothers ‘I know Taimur is very cute, his parents are also cute and handsome, but take care of your kids also, click your own children’s pics.’”
Lalita managed to navigate these challenges despite having no prior experience in handling media pressure. Her primary concern was ensuring Taimur’s safety amidst the frenzy. She expressed her dedication to keeping him secure from the invasive attention, highlighting her role in safeguarding the child from unnecessary exposure.
