Saif Ali Khan was against naming his son Taimur, reveals Kareena Kapoor Khan!
His name generated quite a stir! Taimur courted a string of controversies.

"The day before I was going to the hospital for delivery, I had a talk with Saif and he was suggesting to keep his name Faiz, he said, 'Bebo, that is a more poetic, more romantic name'. I said 'no, Taimur means iron and if I give birth to a son, my son is going to be a fighter, I will produce an iron man'. And yes, I proudly did so," revealed Kareena
