Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan gave new details on motherhood, and children Taimur and Jeh, in an interview. She has two sons, four year old Taimur Ali Khan and six-month-old boy Jehangir Ali Khan with actor and husband Saif Ali Khan.
Talking about the two, she said, “At six months, Tim didn’t like too many new faces, but Jeh seems comfortable. Taim has more of Saif’s personality, and Jeh seems like a wonderful mix. Tim is a typical Saggitarian; he is creative, he likes art, colouring and drawing, he loves exploring and what’s to know about everything. Jeh is Piscean… let’s see how he is going to develop.”
When asked what kind of a mother she is, Bebo said, “I want both my sons to be thorough gentleman. I want people to say they are well-brought up, kind-hearted and I will think my job is well done. I don’t want them to be movie stars. I’ll be happy if Tim comes and tell me I want to do something else… climb Mount Everest may be… that’s his choice. I want to stand by and support my boys.”
She added, “I don’t want to be like a helicopter mom. I want them to fall and learn because that’s the way my mother taught me. My mother was like, do what you want, make your mistakes and then learn to repair them, because that’s the way it works. So that’s the way I am parenting both the boys. Jeh, of course, is small, but Tim is now much more aware. I am like if he does something wrong, you clear up your mess. That’s the only way they learn.”
Kareena also shared what she and Saif are doing different with Jeh. “It was so overwhelming with Taimur. There was so much chatter - what’s going on, what have they named him, then… Taimur has gone here, Tim is doing that. It was so much that both Saif and I felt that this time, we must chill out. They’re just kids at the end of the day. So we haven’t released any picture of Jeh yet, even though Tim happily waves for the camera.”
