Kareena Kapoor Khan recently opened up about the controversy that began after she announced the name of her first son Taimur back in 2016. She shared that the backlash that came after it was very shocking and it was difficult for her to cope up with it. 

Kareena, in a public interaction, shared, "I don’t think any mother or any child has to go through that. What was the reason…I still don’t really get it, because nobody is meant to offend anyone or do anything. I think we have freedom of speech, freedom of what we want to do, at least both Saif and me believe that very strongly. When we came up with the name… Saif actually said… He grew up with a neighbour friend, and he always really liked his name and his name was Taimur, so he said, ‘You know, if I have a son, he was my first friend. I’d like to name him Taimur’, and that’s exactly how Taimur was named, because he was Saif’s first friend when he was living in town here. It has no sort of take or resemblance to anything or anyone. It just went like… it’s not even like.. it’s not even the same name. I got into a bit of a shock when this happened. But luckily, I think because of us being strong and resilient and silent, I think it just kind of died down. He was the most photographed child for what reason I have no idea. The name was trolled. It was a traumatic time, it was very difficult. But I think both Saif and me handled it with a lot of dignity."

The actress also addressed 10 year age gap with her husband and said that it’s not the age but respect and love that matters. She said, “Age does not matter, what matters is respect and love and the fact that we have fun with each other.The most important thing between Saif and I is that we like each other and enjoy our company.”

On the work front, Kareena is all set for her OTT debut Jaane Jaan which will release on September 21, 2023.
