Netizens troll Kareena, Saif on rumours of naming son 'Jehangir'
Darpan News Desk IANS, 10 Aug, 2021 11:58 AM
Mumbai, Aug 10 (IANS) Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan's second child is not even two years old, but his name has been dragged into an unseemly Twitter troll attack.
So much so, riding on the hate campaign, the hashtags #saifalikhan and #aurangzeb are trending on the social media platform.
The world knew that the child had been named 'Jeh' -- his maternal grandfather Randhir Kapoor, in fact, had also referred to him as 'Jeh' when someone asked him for his name in response to the Bollywood veteran's recent tweet that he was visiting his grandchild.
But then, reports started circulating that Kareena and Saif's second son was named Jehangir -- and that made the troll army see red.
The couple had named their first son Taimur after he was born in 2014 and then, too, they were greeted with negativity.
Those circulating the information that Kareena and Saif's second child is named Jehangir quoted from Kareena's just-released book, 'Pregnancy Bible: The Ultimate Manuel for Moms-to-be' (Juggernaut), where she's said to have captioned Jeh's pictures as 'Jehangir'.
The book's publisher, Chiki Sarkar, denied that Kareena had ever mentioned the name 'Jehangir'. Said Sarkar: "In my capacity, I can say that she has always called him Jeh, her office calls him Jeh and in the book also she has called him Jeh."
The troll army, however, did not wait for any clarification and seized upon the rumour to start its hate campaign.
One Twitter user wrote: "Taimur and Jehangir are not just a name it's a slap on the face of Hindus. They could also keep the name of their children as Kalam or Irfan ... Hindus and others beware of these Islamist radicals, or propaganda spreaders. #SaifAliKhan #KareenaKapoorKhan #Hindus."
Another user wrote: "Taimur first & now Jehangir doesn't surprise me anymore. Remember after the box-office success of 'Tanhaji' the actor said that 'Tanhaji' story is a fictional story. It is shameful after insulting Maratha & Maharashtra pride he is still living & earning in Mumbai. #SaifAliKhan"
In a recent Instagram Live with filmmaker Karan Johar, when asked about the name of her son, Kareena announced it was 'Jeh Ali Khan'.
The big question is: Why are the trolls getting worked up when the mother and grandfather are calling the little one 'Jeh'? Ask the rumour mongers.
Sima Taparia, a Mumbai-based elite matchmaker, became popular as Sima aunty and due to her catchphrase, "Hi, I am Sima Taparia from Mumbai". She is over-the-moon after the Emmy nod, and lacks words to express her gratitude.

Shakti Kapoor is all set to comeback in his popular avatar of Crime Master Gogo on a special OTT project. He had memorably essayed the role in the 1994 film "Andaaz Apna Apna".
Naseeruddin Shah's younger son Vivaan Shah posted a candid picture of his father. In the picture, the actor is seen sitting on his bed with his cat on his lap playing the flute. He wears a yellow T-shirt and white bottoms.
The Mumbai Police on Tuesday made a shocking revelation that arrested businessman Raj Kundra and his brother-in-law Pradeep Bakshi are the alleged masterminds of an international porn films racket perpetrated through their content production companies based in India and the United Kingdom.
Poonam had filed a case against Kundra and his associates from Armsprime Media, the company which was handling her app. She had complained that they were illegally using her videos, even after their contract with her ended.
