Jaideep Ahlawat highlighted Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan’s meticulous approach to instilling good habits in their children. He noted that during the shoot of Jaane Jaan, he interacted with Taimur and found him to be an inquisitive and well-behaved child.
In an interview with Mashable India, Jaideep mentioned that Kareena’s children often accompanied her on set. He shared, “Taimur, especially, is very curious. He asks questions like ‘What is this?’, ‘What is happening?’, ‘What are you playing?’ I was puzzled about how to explain what I was doing.” Jaideep also mentioned Saif’s presence on set, where he introduced Jaideep as the lead actor of Kareena’s film.
“Saif sir said, ‘He is the main man, he is the leading man in mumma’s film.’ Taimur then said, ‘Okay, all the best.’ He said all the best and went off. Completely in style, professionally. He is a very smart kid, upfront, very confident,” he said. He also mentioned that Saif and Kareena are very particular that Taimur picks up after himself and is mindful of not wasting any food. “Kareena and Saif are always like, ‘Pick up your things, why did you leave the book, pick it up and put it there.’ The little habits that you inculcate in the child, like not wasting food, all those things,” he shared.
Kareena has previously discussed Taimur receiving a lot of attention in public and how he is sometimes treated like a “VIP.” “So, he keeps asking me that, ‘Am I a VIP?’ and I am like ‘no, you are not. Maybe your parents are… I don’t know. But you are not, you are nothing.’ So he is growing with this understanding that ‘my parents are this. I don’t know why they keep clicking me. I need to do something with my life.’ So we are being very honest with him,” she shared with Forbes India.
