When Suhana Khan’s bikini pictures splashed across the web, media went into tizzy. But it deeply hurt her father, superstar Shah Rukh Khan, and rightly so.
SRK has opened up about the incident to a leading site, “She was in a bikini, she was on a beach, and she was with her little brother. You went ahead and wrote a headline, "SRK's daughter flaunts her body." Is it a little cheap? Maybe I felt it was. I reached out nicely and said, dude, your website is not going to run on my daughter's bikini body, can you please take it out? People saw where I was coming from. My daughter was a little awkward about it. She's 16, yaar. And the headlines some sites use are. wow. We're very liberal people and even had a laugh about it. But it's still awkward."
He also added to the site that he was trying to protect his daughter from himself than the media,"When my daughter's pictures were splashed everywhere online and when I jumped to get it contained, I wasn't protecting her from the media - I was protecting her from me. It's my stardom that was the reason that picture made it to the news - it wouldn't have if she wasn't SRK's daughter. There could be someone running naked and that wouldn't be news.”
Should media refrain from sharing such pictures? Let us know your thoughts…
