Sometimes, a name alone can spark a storm. Recently, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri, when asked if he had taken a jibe at Saif Ali Khan, commented, “Nobody should name their child Taimur.” Back in 2016, Saif and Kareena Kapoor revealed their son’s name, which drew widespread backlash.
Growing Under Attention
Last year, Kareena spoke about the incident in an interview with Miss Malini. She admitted that the public reaction did affect her. She also mentioned that Taimur is too young to understand the controversy. However, he is slowly realising the culture of constant attention and paparazzi clicks surrounding him. Kareena noted that while it was overwhelming initially, Taimur has also received much love from fans curious about him.
Meanwhile, Vivek Agnihotri’s latest project, ‘The Bengal Files’, is based on the 1946 Bengal riots. The film features acclaimed actors such as Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, and Pallavi Joshi. It promises a gripping cinematic experience and reflects Agnihotri’s dedication to telling historical stories with depth.
