Kareena Kapoor shares criticism over son Taimur’s name ‘affected her’; reveals how Saif Ali Khan reacted to it

Actors Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan welcomed their first child -a son Taimur Ali Khan in December 2016. The little munchkin was named Taimur and people didn’t perceive it warmly. People started criticising the parents for naming their son Taimur. Recalling the time, Kareena reveals that the drama over his name upset and affected her. During a conversation with Miss Malini, Bebo remembered the wise words of grandfather Raj Kapoor who said that people are going to talk about celebrities whether it’s good or bad.

The Laal Singh Chadha actor said, “Of course, it affected me that people were talking about his name. He probably doesn’t even know that there was a whole drama and now suddenly everybody if like, ‘Ok whatever’. But he also got a lot of love for the fact that people were so interested in him. I was like, ‘But why? Because you don’t even know him, he is so small’. So I feel that now he will slowly understand and is understanding the whole culture of the fact that people follow him or he is being clicked.”

Saif Ali Khan was relaxed and calm during the fiasco

She added, “But I have to obviously keep reminding him that, ‘It’s important that you do something, your parents have done something.’ So he has figured it out slowly and I took that in my stride. In fact, Saif was very relaxed and calm also about it. He was like, ‘We need to be calm and we need to be sure.’ So I’m happy we had each other to discuss that. That’s also the reason why I share a lot on Instagram but yet I don’t share a lot on Instagram. I’m happy to be accessible to my fans for what they need to see. But there’s also a side because of everything I’ve been through I’m always gonna be a little away.“

After Taimur, Bebo and Saif also welcomed another son Jeh Ali Khan who was born in 2021.
