MUMBAI: Kareena Kapoor Khan’s son Taimur has become an Internet sensation and the actor today said she does not like the fact that her little one is being watched so closely.
The one-year-old star kid has been followed by the paparazzi round-the-clock since his birth in December 2016.
“I do not like the fact that everyday Taimur’s moves are monitored, pictures are out, what he is doing, where he is going, what he is wearing, discussing his hairstyle. He is just a 14-month-old. I don’t know how to stop it. You are just following him around,” Kareena said.
The actor, however, added, “I think he is getting used to it because off late, if I compare his pictures, he has started posing.”
She was in conversation with senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai on ‘The Kapoor Clan: Films, Family and Feminism’ with her sister actor Karisma Kapoor at the India Today Conclave here.
In 2016, soon after Bollywood power couple Kareena and Saif Ali Khan decided on calling their first child, Taimur, people on social media started questioning the choice of name.
“There was (a) lot of trolling but there was an immense amount of support as well. Not that the trolls or anything matters. Because the night before (the delivery) when we went to the hospital, Saif asked me, if it’s a boy, do I want to change the name from Taimur?
“… He even told me to change the name to ‘Faiz’, as it is more poetic and romantic. I was like no, ‘If it is a boy, my son is going to be a fighter, he will be called ‘Taimur’. Taimur means iron and I will produce (an) ironman. I am proud to have named him Taimur,” Kareena said. (AGENCIES)
