Finally Saif Broke His Silence On Taimur’s Name Trolling! He Has An Amazing Response

Ever since the time baby Taimur was born, Saif and Kareena were massively trolled on Twitter for naming him so. Yes, as soon as the name “Taimur” was announced, people started lashing out at the couple; some were so shameless that they literally trolled the baby. There was complete silence from Kareena and Saif on this matter, but uncle Rishi Kapoor left no stone unturned for slamming these trollers.

It has been around 1.5 months now and finally, Saif has broken silence on this matter. Not only did he talk about trolls but also gave a hint of Taimur resembling him.
Talking about the name “Taimur”, Saif Ali Khan stated

“I’m aware of the heritage of the Turkish ruler and my son was not named after him. He was Timur, my son is Taimur. Perhaps the root is similar but it’s not the same name. Taimur is an ancient Persian name meaning iron. Both my wife and I liked its sound and the meaning. In fact, of all the names I ran by Kareena, she liked this one the best because it’s beautiful and strong. Taimur was the name of a boy he’d grown up with and a cousin too. It’s an old family name like Sara who was also named after a cousin I admired.”

We agree with Saif Ali Khan that social media has indeed become an outlet for venting out anger and nasty comments. In Saif’s words

“Social media just makes it clear what everybody is thinking in a sense. There is a lot of anonymity from the side of the people who are doing the talking so they feel free to say whatever they like, and sometimes they get very nasty…And that’s fine. It doesn’t mean that twenty, thirty or forty years ago people weren’t thinking similar things but maybe they did not have an outlet then.”
