COVID-19 may have forced us to give up all fun and retire to our homes. While most of the world is in lockdown mode, our own little cherub, Taimur Ali Khan isn’t having any of it. As usual, he brought fun and an overload of cuteness to the table when he crashed his abba’s interview with a renowned film critic.
With the country in lockdown for over a month, most of the shows are cancelled, and people are resorting to social media to deliver whatever they can. Leave it to Kareena Kapoor Khan’s progeny to interrupt something serious with their cuteness, and get away with it. There is no debate that Taimur Ali Khan is cuteness personified. He hijacked the screen from his father, the Pataudi heir himself and we couldn’t be happier!
Recently, a picture of Taimur Ali Khan’s quarantine wall-painting sent the internet fans into a frenzy. With a quirky caption by Kareena Kapoor Khan, it became an instant classic on the gram: “If there is a wall that’s blocking your creativity… Try painting on it”, with the hashtags #QuaranTimDiaries and #InhousePicasso.

A video snippet from the interview surfaced on a fan page of Saif Ali Khan and soon went viral on social media. Taimur is seen uttering something illegible and pointing out “a photo” on the screen. His dad, Saif Ali Khan, may have shrugged it off as trivial, but the netizens are, apparently, not quite ready to.

In a recent, impromptu interview with Anupama Chopra done over a video callfor Film Companion, Saif opened up about how the times are terrrifying and the growing influence of his adorable son. “He is a source of joy for us, for sure…he is just happy that we are both around.”
Commenting on the dire situation all of us are in, he got candid on what he does to make sure that he doesn’t have cabin fever. “I am lucky to have Kareena, who also has got a voyager’s heart”, he added.

He also said that he was willing to bring Tim on to the screen, given the situation, because everyone could use a happy face right now: “Normally I wouldn’t involve him in an interview of mine. I just thought given the circumstances, people could do with a bit of cheering up. People seem to be happy when they see him.”
It is safe to assume that the noise that we hear in the background throughout the interview is Taimur being himself around the house.

Saif also shared tips on how to survive the lockdown. According to him, creating a balance is key. He added, “It’s not really a holiday. It’s like, trying to stay healthy to help the system… and then there’s, obviously, sympathy for people all over the world that you constantly hear about.”
We are happy that celebrities are joining the collective effort in making the world a safe place again. The entertainment industry is one among the many to take a major hit because of the pandemic. Instead of lobbying for things to be reopened, it is refreshing to see that they have a perspective on the issue, and the society’s well-being in mind.
Bebo was the apple of our eyes since she debuted in Bollywood. She always lit up the screen with talent and charisma. It looks like her son has inherited her effortless charm and the ability to win hearts with cute gestures. Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan are one of the celebrity couples in Bollywood who turned out to be wonderful parents. Judging by their social media posts, they seem to be crushing it. What do you think of little Tim and his mischiefs? Let us know in the comments.
