The Story in Brief
Actor Saif Ali Khan said his sons, Taimur and Jeh, often ask him about conflicts taking place around the world. Speaking at NDTV Jai Jawan 2026, Saif described the fears they experience when they hear about wars.
Saif said he tells them that the Indian Army is protecting the country. His remarks focused on how international conflicts can affect children and shape their sense of safety, even when the fighting is far from India. NDTV reported the comments.
The Indian Opinion
The easy narrative is that celebrity comments either trivialise war or offer a complete answer to children’s fears. Neither follows from these brief remarks. Reassurance from parents matters, but children also need age-appropriate facts and space to ask difficult questions. The useful test is simple: can adults comfort children without turning distant conflicts into fear, spectacle or propaganda?
