Saif and Kareena have two sons, Taimur and Jahangir (fondly called ‘Jeh’).
The name of Saif Ali Khan’s elder son Taimur Ali Khan has again come into discussion. In a recent interview, he said that the name Taimur was inspired by a child living in his neighbourhood. However, after his statement, social media users brought out old interviews of Saif and Kareena and started comparing the statements of both.
In a conversation with Barkha Dutt, Saif said, “To be honest, I never understood why there was so much controversy about the name. In my childhood, there was a child with the same name in our neighborhood. I always thought this name meant iron. We liked this name, so Kareena and I chose it. We had no idea that some people would associate it with the name of an old Turkish ruler who attacked India and consider it negative.
He further said, “I believe that such old things should be left behind. When we named our son, we did not have any such thought in our mind. Our only effort is that Taimur becomes a good person, grows up with the right values and brings glory to the people with his work.”

User’s post.
In fact, when Kareena was asked in the interview who named Taimur, she had said, “Obviously, it was Saif. He loves history… He talks very well and in detail about the warriors he likes. He also reads about them and I think he was a fan of Mongol Taimur…”
However, in the same interview, Kareena also talked about the neighbour. The actress had said that there lived a boy named Taimur in Saif’s neighbourhood, by whom she was impressed and this name remained in her mind. He said that ‘Taimur’ means ‘iron’ and he found this name to be a symbol of a strong personality. For this reason he chose this name for his son.
There was a dispute regarding the name
Saif and Kareena’s son Taimur was born on 20 December 2016. After the name became public, controversy started on social media by linking it to the Central Asian ruler Taimur. At that time Saif and Kareena had to face criticism.

Taimur Ali Khan is currently 9 years old and studying at Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai.
At the same time, as the controversy increased, Saif also thought of changing the name of his son to ‘Faiz’. For this he had also prepared a draft of a press note. But Kareena clearly refused to change her name. He said that one should not take decisions under pressure from people. Later Saif also gave up the decision to change his name.
