Kareena Kapoor Khan talked about the traumatic time after she faced her few days old baby, Taimur's name controversy made headlines.
Kareena Kapoor Khan first time talked about the traumatic experience she had gone through right after her first child, Taimur Ali Khan's delivery in 2016. The nation was left furious, and many questioned the Pataudis for naming their first child, 'Taimur'. They thought it was kept after the cruel ruler, Timur.

Recalling the time, Kareena shared that no mother or child should go through it. She added that she doesn't know why they were attacked as they never wanted to offend anyone. Kareena further shared that her son's name means 'iron man', and she liked the sound of it. Kareena shared that Taimur was her husband, Saif's first friend and that's how they came up with them. She said:
"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."
Kareena clarified that the name was not in reference to any historical image. She added that she was left shocked when it was blown out of proportion. She was quoted as saying:
"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."
