When Kareena Kapoor Khan had made her Instagram debut in 2020, we couldn’t be happier. And the cherry on the cake was when Kareena had promised her fans that “of course, there will be once in a while a picture of Taimur." And keeping her promise, Kareena had posted a beautiful frame-worthy monochrome picture of Taimur. Introducing her munchkin, Taimur, on her official Instagram handle, Bebo had left us in awe with the picture as well as its sweetest caption. She had written:
"The only one I will ever allow to steal my frame."
In a promotional video, when Saif and Kareena were asked, “What was it like to hold your baby for the first time?” while she had said, “Even though I carried him for nine months, I think every mother experiences this. I just felt extremely surreal”, he had remarked, “I think we cannot describe it in words.”
From the day Taimur was born, he had stormed the internet and had become a social media sensation overnight. But it was his name that had created a lot of stir on social media. Soon after the star parents had announced the name of their baby boy, netizens had started questioning the origin of his name as ‘Taimur’ was a historical name of a Persian emperor, who had invaded India in 1398.
At an interactive session on India Today Conclave in 2018, Kareena Kapoor Khan had shared why she had chosen the name Taimur. The gorgeous actress had stated that the night before her delivery, Saif had asked her whether she wanted to change the name Taimur and keep a more poetic name like Faiz. To which Kareena had given a surprising response and had said:
"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."
On February 21, 2021, Taimur was promoted to a big brother with the arrival of Kareena and Saif's second child, Jehangir Ali Khan.
