Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan has made a stunning revelation on the controversy surrounding her child’s name post Taimur’s birth. She told journalist Rajdeep Sardesai at India Today Conclave that her husband Saif Ali Khan was ready to change the child’s name from Taimur to Faiz, but ‘I was not going to succumb to public pressure.’
Kareena said that just like his name’s meaning, Taimur will grow up to be an ‘Iron Man.’
She said, “Saif was ready to change his name to Faiz but I was not going to succumb to public pressure; my son is Taimur, and will grow up to be, like his name, an Iron Man one day.”

In December 2016, right-wing Hindutva groups had launched huge protests against Saif Ali Khan and Kareena by attacking them for naming their child Taimur. Some of the Hindutva trolls had even wished death for the newly born child.
