Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan have been known to be the IT couple in Bollywood. Right from their dating years to having completed so many years of their matrimony, the couple never fails to drop some major couple goals for their fans who simply dote on them. From making mushy PDAs to revealing interesting anecdotes about their personal life, they have kept their fans on their toes all throughout their love saga.
Well, way back into the early years of their relationship, Saif Ali Khan made a benchmark for all loving beaus when he proudly inked his ladylove, Kareena Kapoor’s name on his forearm. While it became the talk of the town at a time when most celeb couples chose to keep their relationship a secret from the public eye, little did they know that years later, their cute little son, Taimur would be super anxious about the same. Indeed, their bundle of joy, Taimur back in his kiddo days was quite curious about Saif’s special tattoo and would point it out to his father often. Speaking about the same, in an interview with Brides Today, Kareena had revealed Taimur’s cutesy antics over the tattoo and mentioned:
“He has done lots of romantic things. I think the most romantic thing is when my son points at it now and asks. Like, he is all the time looking at that tattoo. And Saif is like, 'This is your amma's name'. And he (Taimur) keeps wondering like, 'What is he saying?' I think that's a special moment for me."

Saif’s tattoo of Kareena’s name right on his forearm was something never done before and naturally, it became the source of all public curiosities back in the day. Well, Saif had once cleared the air about the same in an interview in 2010 where he revealed how a spontaneous chat with Kareena led him to immortalise his love with ink. In his words:
“We were in the car one afternoon in Bandra, talking about David Beckham. I don't know why I brought him up. And then the tattoo came up, and I said, maybe I should get one on my shoulder, would it look cool? And Kareena said, why shoulder? Put it on your arm. I thought, maybe a nice K? and she said, that's a bit ambiguous.”

The much-in-love couple, Kareena and Saif hopped onto the journey of parenthood with the arrival of their son, Taimur Ali Khan in 2016. Interestingly, right from his birth, the star kid has received all the media attention and it seems he enjoys a massive fan following much more than his parents. Even today, as Taimur has grown up a bit, he seems to be much friendlier and more interactive with the onlooking paparazzi, and his antic simply melts the hearts of his fans. While this kind of behaviour has been certainly pathbreaking for any star kid of his age, his doting daddy, Saif once mentioned how Taimur perceives all this attention and loves posing for them. In his words:
“Timtim is more media-savvy than either me or Bebo. He calls the photographers 'Mediawale'. He thinks Mediawale is a name! One of his favourite games is to point my camera at people. He will say 'khichik khichik khichik' and pretend to be 'Mediawale'!”

Kareena Kapoor is one of the most sought-after actresses of her generation. She enjoys a massive fanbase courtesy of her splendid acting skills and amazing fashion sense. She has been a trendsetter in many things, especially during her unstoppable energy to work right till the last days of both her pregnancies. Once in an interview, Kareena had revealed how her marriage with Saif at one point in time had been one of the biggest taboos for her acting career, since it has been usually believed that marriage marks an end of the career of an actor, and also highlighted how perspectives on the same has altered completely in the recent years. In her words:
“I think so. You have to wear your age proudly. Today, women have become brave. For female actors, the biggest taboo was to get married... but now your marital status doesn't affect your career. Filmmakers are now taking risks and willing to work on off-beat scripts, and give different people a chance. In the end, it is all about feeling and looking confident.”
