Kareena Kapoor Khan has revealed she and Saif Ali Khan did not have a list of baby names before the birth of both their sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan. While the couple welcomed Taimur in 2016, Jehangir was born earlier this year.
She revealed Jehangir's name in her recently released book, Kareena Kapoor Khan's Pregnancy Bible. Speaking in an interview, Kareena said that they named Taimur and Jehangir, also known as Jeh, because she and her family liked the names.
"We never really...I don't know...It was a (snaps fingers)...Even for Taimur also, you know, it was a name that we liked. The idea is that as a family we liked the names of our children. It's not like we had a pre-planned list or anything. Aise kabhi nahin (It was never like that) we never really sat and even had that thought ke okay let's write down. I think wo jo ek aata hai, ek feeling hai (it just came to us, it was a feeling), we both liked the name, we just named the kids that," she told NDTV.
Kareena, when she was still pregnant with Jeh, had revealed that she and Saif have consciously decided not to think of names for their new baby. Speaking with Neha Dhupia during her show What Women Want, Kareena had said, "After the whole controversy of Taimur, both Saif and me have not even thought about it. We’re like going to leave it last minute and then spring a surprise."
