When Ranveer Singh called Taimur Ali Khan his 'budhaape ka sahara': 'He will make his film debut'

It seems like Ranveer Singh's favourite Bollywood Khan is Taimur Ali Khan. In an old interview, Ranveer said that he wishes to work with Taimur some day. Taimur is Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan's son.

In an old interview, when Ranveer Singh was asked which Bollywood Khan he would like to work with, his answer surprised a lot of people. He didn't take the name of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan or Saif Ali Khan, instead he took Taimur Ali Khan's name. Ranveer also called Taimur his ‘budhaape ka sahara (support for my old age)'.

Taimur is actors Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan's elder son, whom they welcomed in 2016. Last year, the couple welcomed their second child, Jeh Ali Khan.

In an old interview with Siddharth Kannan when Ranveer was asked about the Bollywood Khan he would like to work with, he took Taimur's name and said, “Taimur toh mere budhaape ka sahara hai. Woh bohot bada star hai aur jab woh acting karega, apna debut karega uss samay meri umar ho jayegi aur mujhe acting chodhni nahi hai toh mujhe uss time par role sirf Taimur ke daddy ka milega toh mein karunga (Taimur will support me at my old age. He will be a big star and when he will make his debut, then at that time I will play the role of his father).”

Ranveer, who turned 37 on Wednesday was last seen in sports-drama 83, which also starred his wife Deepika Padukone. He will be seen next in Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, also starring Alia Bhatt. He also has Rohit Shetty's Cirkus in the pipeline, which is scheduled for theatrical release on December 23 this year.
