Twitter outrage over Saif, Kareena naming their son Taimur
Contrary to what many of their fans believed, the actors did not name the baby Saifeena, but Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi, which means Iron in Arabic. The #TaimurAliKhanPataudi has already been trending on top in India yesterday, says Times of India.
However, the choice of name has sparked a variety of responses from fans, some good and others, not so much, reports NDTV.
