Taimur Ali Khan's name controversy

Back in the year 2016 on December 20th, Kareena and Saif were blessed with their first child. When they revealed that they have named their firstborn Taimur, a number of netizens did not take the news well. Many people felt furious as they expressed that Timur (also known Taimur) was the name of an invader from Central Asia who attacked the Delhi Sultanate.

Moreover, Timur has invaded North India and has massacred the inhabitants of Tulamba, a small town in Punjab. So netizens had taken to social media and had condemned the actors for naming their child after an invader who had killed numerous Indians back in the day.

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan, however, insisted that they have named their son Taimur because it has a beautiful meaning in person. The actors had gone on record and had stated that Taimur means iron, which is why they fell in love with the name in the first place. The full name of Kareena’s firstborn is Taimur Ali Khan.
