Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan were blessed with a beautiful baby boy in December last year. While friends, family and fans rejoiced, there was a section of social media that had way too much to say about their baby’s name, Taimur Ali Khan.
Both Saif and Bebo are not on social media and are generally not the kind of celebrities who go out of their way to clear reports about them. In an interview to TOI, Saif was asked about all the trolling over his child’s name and Saif handled the question in his patent chilled out demeanor.
Saif said:
My wife and I love the sound of it and we love its meaning. I am aware of the heritage of the Turkish ruler—he was Timur, my son is Taimur, an ancient Persian name that means iron.
He also jokingly added:
Perhaps I should have added a disclaimer, as they do in the movies, that any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
There you have it!
