Taimur name sparked much outrage among Hindus as Timur was a most barbaric invader and killer of Hindus. While Saif was vague about the choice of name in an interview, Kareena revealed that Saif, in fact, is an admirer of Timur
In same interview, Saif said that he cannot “realistically name his son Ram”
In the land of Ram, an Indian citizen who otherwise insists he should not be judged by family history and Pakistan connections, can’t “realistically” name his son Ram
