Paparazzi be warned! Henceforth, Sara Ali Khan will not be your muse. So don’t do a Mary’s Little Lamb number with her from now on. It’s not that the debutante actress is weary of being photographed. She’s been told or warned or ordered or whatever not to pose or allow herself to be clicked by the paparazzo anymore. Enough is enough!

Peeping Moon.com witnessed a funny sight outside filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor’s Santacruz office today. Sara, looking as pretty as a picture, joining hands and pleading with a solitary photographer not to take her pictures. “I’m requesting you, I’m begging you – please don’t,” Sara was saying as the pap’s finger hovered over his camera’s trigger uncertainly. “You take pictures outside my gym, my home, the spa, when I step out for dinner and script reading sessions. Now I’ve been told not to take any more pictures. So please...” And such was the girl’s beseeching charm, that the pap went away shamefaced.

Now Sara Ali Khan is running neck-to-neck with other celeb kids like Jhanvi Kapoor, Ananya Pandey, Suhana Khan, and Navya Naveli Nanda to see who among them is the paparazzo’s favourite star kid. The daughter of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, at 24, had a dream debut lined up in Abhishek Kapoor’s Kedarnath opposite the much loved and hated Sushant Singh Rajput. But now that’s been pushed to the end of 2018 because of the delayed winter in North India. Abhishek would have liked Sara not to take on any other film till his was released. But a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do. And Sara wasn’t waiting.

She has reportedly accepted a film by Anushka Sharma’s production house Clean Slate Films that’s being co-produced by Kedarnath’s producers Prernaa Arora and Arjun Kapoor of KriArj Entertainment and is determined to be Bollywood’s next big thing after Alia Bhatt. Which is a good thing. But our question is: who has forbidden the young actress from getting clicked? Can it be Abhishek attempting damage control late in the day? Anushka or Prernaa who don’t want Sara to get stale before she begins their film? Mama Amrita Singh who is notoriously rigid in these kind of matters? Or Papa Saif Ali Khan whose finding the wolf whistles for his baby girl getting a little uncomfortable now?
