Bollywood’s powerful couple Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif
Ali Khan became proud parents to Taimur in December, last year. Just hours
after his birth, Taimur was an internet sensation with people trolling the
royal couple over their son's name. Now, the baby boy is yet again in news but
not for any controversy but for a very pretty reason.
As per reports, Kareena calls her new-born son 'Little
John'. Isn't that just too adorable? Some reports are also claiming that it
might be because of the controversy which happened over his name. Whatever the
case may be, but this nickname for the little munchkin is something which will
grab your attention.
In an interview, Saif opened up on the whole hullabaloo and told,
"Yes, even today. 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. I said it
still sounds similar. She says just say they have same roots. The name is nice
and it sounds good and it means something nice but it is not named after that
guy. Well, yes, the name is the same, but the name also predates the person
called Timur Lang. 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)."
He further adds, "I think. Also, a part of me has
realized that if a select few are happy with you, universal acceptance is not
required because this kind of populist approval means something scary. I would
rather have a handful of people whose opinion I respect, agree with me, that's
enough. I don't want universal approval if it's going to require me to
pretend."
