Why Kareena named her son Taimur

Speaking about it, Kareena said, 'There was a specific reason behind naming him Taimur. Saif had a friend, whom he grew up with, named Taimur. Saif adored both him and his name. That's why Saif used to say, 'If I have a son, I'll name him Taimur.' He made this decision because he wanted his son to be his friend. This name has nothing to do with anything else. When I saw people criticizing us because of my son's name, I felt terrible. I was shocked and cried a lot. I still don't understand why it happened. We didn't want to hurt anyone. I just hope no one has to go through something like this.'
