Kareena on Taimur controversy. Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor reacted to all the controversy that surrounded her son Taimur's name. It is known that netizens blasted Saif Ali Khan and Kareena for naming their son after Taimur, who invaded India and plundered its wealth and murdered many people. When they named their second son Jahangir, then also people fumed at them. Later they clarified that their son's name was Jeh and not Jahangir.
Kareena Kapoor shed light on the controversy surrounding her son's name, stating, "I don't believe any mother or child should have to endure such a situation." She expressed her ongoing confusion about why they faced criticism because their intention was never to offend anyone. She emphasized their strong belief in freedom of speech and the right to make personal choices.
The actress shared the origin of her son's name, Taimur, revealing that it was inspired by Saif's childhood friend who shared the same name. She explained, "When we chose the name, Saif mentioned that it was the name of his childhood friend who he cherished. He said, 'If I have a son, I'd like to name him Taimur,' because Taimur was his first friend when he lived in this town."
Towards the end of the conversation, Kareena clarified that her son's name had no connection to any historical figure and didn't resemble any such name. She expressed her surprise at the controversy and credited their resilience for its eventual fading away. She also noted that their son had been widely photographed, though she couldn't fathom the reason behind it.
Switching topics, Kareena Kapoor discussed her upcoming film, Sujoy Ghosh's 'Jaane Jaan,' where she expressed nervousness about its release. She admitted feeling more anxious than she did 20 years ago during her early career. She attributed this heightened nervousness to the changing landscape of the entertainment industry, particularly the shift towards OTT platforms, and her desire to stay relevant in the evolving industry.
