Sarah Khan innocently captioned the photo with “my cheeky baby” along with cherry and heart emojis, intending to share a playful moment with her followers.

Critics argued that it’s important to educate children early about respecting food and not wasting it, especially given global food insecurity issues. They suggested that posting such images could inadvertently promote behavior that contradicts these values.
In response, Sarah Khan defended herself, questioning whether it was fair to expect a two-year-old to comprehend adult eating etiquette. She expressed frustration, emphasizing the importance of letting children enjoy their innocence without undue criticism.
To manage the situation, Sarah Khan disabled comments on her post to shield her daughter from further scrutiny and criticism.
The incident highlights the challenges celebrities face in navigating public scrutiny over their parenting choices and the blurred lines between sharing personal moments online and facing public judgment.
