He is indeed the biggest star kid, and there is absolutely nothing about him which the Indian media has not reported yet.
From the little one's trendy airport looks to his quirky toys, every tiny detail has grabbed headlines in the media. Fans are so obsessed with the junior Khan that several fan pages on the photo posting sites are solely dedicated to Taimur's goofy pictures. Now, his daddy dearest, Saif Ali Khan has shown his concern over Tim Tim's massive stardom at the tender age of five. The Sacred Games actor has also revealed if he and his wifey, Kareena has thought of sending Taimur to a boarding school.

In an interview with Film Companion, Saif Ali Khan got candid about Taimur Ali Khan's growing popularity and the Pataudi's upbringing. In the chat, Saif was asked how he deals with the immense attention that his children, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan from his first marriage with Amrita Singh get and his toddlers, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan from his second marriage with Kareena Kapoor Khan get. To this Saif agreed that Taimur is the biggest star in the family, who always attracts the attention of the paparazzi. He further revealed that if the environment around him remains the same, then Kareena and he might send Taimur to a boarding school in England. In his words:
"I was gonna say he's the biggest star in the family for sure but yeah so there are all these things so I don't know. I hope there's an innocence to him because he doesn't know anything else so it's not a pretentious thing but it does worry me slightly because I think it's very important to be grounded and well brought up but i'm confident I think all our kids and all of us in the family are actually fairly straight and strictly bought up and I don't know anything a boarding school won't solve eventually. If there's going to be this kind of environment I think Kareena and I have already discussed a nice boarding school in England I think would hopefully do the trick it's done the trick for everybody else in the family my father grandfather my cousins all of us."
Further in the interview, Saif revealed that Kareena is a 'toughie' regarding mommy duties. And certainly, she will not encourage seeing her kids getting spoiled. He credited his mother-in-law, Babita Kapoor, with his darling wife, Kareena's strong values. Saif said how he teaches their kids to stay grounded and shared:
"As long as he grows up with good values and we'll do our best. He certainly has grown up within in a privileged life and as long as he respects that I honestly can't tell you what's going to happen it's easy sometimes to spoil our kids and none of us is spoiled but you love them and but I think Kareena is a wonderful mother she's not going to be very impressed if he's spoiled. She's a toughie, her mom, Babita has also brought them up with like really strong values so I think handling fame is something also that you kind of get taught by your parents."

While talking about his upbringing in the royal Pataudi family, Saif Ali Khan recalled some of his fond memories with his father, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. He said how a person greets someone is not going anywhere with fame. Saif can be quoted as saying:
"I think my father my parents taught me also they said that you know you say namaste to him or go get it yourself or make your own bed all these things like tiger Pataudi is also quite grounding influence in our lives it was such a big star but wore it very lightly and being polite to everybody so the upbringing of a kid with how they greet isn't going anywhere with fame."
