Whenever I hear “Taimur Ali Khan” the picture of that adorable and gorgeous baby comes in my mind. The baby Nawab was already on the peak of fame even when he didn’t come into this world. But when Saif and Kareena named their baby “Taimur”, everyone on the internet lost it, but Saif Ali khan shut everyone’s mouth with a solid reply.
Recently in an interview with Times of India, Saif said:
“My daughter told me, why don’t you say that you have not named him after Timur Lang, say that’s Timur and this is Taimur. Incidentally, Timur Lang’s son was Shah Rukh, who is the guy who supposedly said we should actually plunder India. A lot of fighting was done by his sons, but nobody has a problem with the name Shah Rukh (laughs). You know, actually – I haven’t told anyone this – I thought for a second about changing his name. For a couple of weeks. And Kareena was a little against it and she said, ‘People respect you for your opinion and you can’t’… So I said, yeah, but it’s not about people. I don’t want him to get unpopular. And I still might, maybe when he’s one or two, I might change his name in a while, it’s still sinking in, what to do. Someone in my PR agreed with me, and we drafted a small letter. And when I read it, it was so pathetic, that I cancelled the idea.”
