“Kareena And I Love The Sound Of It,” Saif Breaks Silence On Taimur’s Name Controversy

Taimur Ali Khan, the newborn son of Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan is the most talked about kid in the nation. Since the little nawab is born, he and his parents have faced a lot of outrage on the social media over his name. However, they also received a lot of support too. In a very candid interview to The Times of India, Saif Ali Khan broke his silence on the matter and spoke about his son and the furore created around him for the very first time.

Talking about the little nawab, Saif said that his son is not much different from him when it comes to annoying habits.

“He scowls a lot, passes wind and yells so Kareena thinks he’s a lot like me—a cranky, farty yeller!”

The actor faced outrage over social media when he got married to Kareena in 2012. Four years later, he got trolled again for naming his son. However, Saif has no hard feelings for people who ranted against him. 

The actor added that he didn’t feel the need to say anything on the issue as a lot of people supported him openly. He said that despite all the fuss, India is still very liberal and the people are still very open-minded.

Saif also said that it is fine for people to raise their concerns over the idea of love jihad or any other matter.

“It’s just one of those things where people have a voice, and it’s OK for them to share it… These are the times we live in, but I don’t think it’s reason to get too worried.”

Speaking about naming his son ‘Taimur’ for the first time, Saif tries to clear the air about the controversy.

Ending the interview with a joke, Saif said that he perhaps should have issued a disclaimer before his son was born.

“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.”

Candid and straightforward, that’s Saif Ali Khan for you.
