As Taimur Ali Khan turns 9 today, it feels like the perfect moment to revisit one of the most memorable and light-hearted throwback moments involving the Pataudi family. Over the years, Taimur has grown up in the public eye, but when his name first made headlines, it sparked intense debate.
Amid all the noise, Sara Ali Khan’s sharp sense of humour offered a refreshing perspective that fans still remember fondly.
Sara Ali Khan’s viral one-liner on Taimur’s name
During a rapid-fire round on Karan Johar’s chat show, Sara Ali Khan was asked what Taimur Ali Khan’s Facebook bio should be. Without missing a beat, she replied, “I am a prince, not an invader.”The line instantly stood out for its wit and calm confidence. Sara’s response subtly took a dig at the criticism surrounding Taimur’s name and reframed the conversation with grace and humour.
Why Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor chose the name Taimur
When Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan announced their son’s name, it triggered widespread discussion online. Addressing the backlash later, Saif explained in an interview with Mumbai Mirror that the decision was deeply personal and rooted in meaning, not controversy.He had said, “My wife and I love the sound of it and we love its meaning… an ancient Persian name that means iron.” Saif also clarified that the name was chosen for its cultural depth and strength, not for any historical association people were reading into it.
Saif Ali Khan married Kareena Kapoor Khan in 2012 after dating for several years. Together, they are parents to two sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jeh Ali Khan. Sara Ali Khan is Saif’s daughter from his earlier marriage to actor Amrita Singh, and Ibrahim Ali Khan is her younger brother.
