Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan recently revealed that her elder son Taimur Ali Khan understands that he is famous because of his parents, but he is not particularly interested in the film industry or acting. Instead, Kareena said that he is more intrigued and fascinated by sports icons such as cricketers Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and footballer Lionel Messi. She revealed that Taimur often asks her whether she can connect him with the famous sports personalities, or whether she can send Virat Kohli a message on his behalf.

Kareena Kapoor Khan Reveals Son Taimur Ali Khan Has No Interest In Acting

In a conversation with Soha Ali Khan on her podcast ‘All About Her’, Kareena Kapoor Khan shared that while her younger son Jeh is too young to understand that he is famous, Taimur is aware of it. “We don’t push that kind of conversation so much. He (Taimur) knows he is famous. But he has also understood that he is famous because of his parents. And that actually means nothing. And what’s important to him is that I just really want to go and play soccer somewhere, and play cricket somewhere. As of now, he is not interested in anything like drama or acting. Because every time I tell him in school when he has to pick an extracurricular activity, the list comes. I read out the list and there’s drama in it. Once or twice I have asked, ‘Do you want to do drama this year?’ and he’s like ‘No’. I ask, ‘Why? just try and act.’ So he’s like ‘No. I don’t like it. I don’t enjoy it’. Then I don’t push it. He knows what he wants. He told me he wanted to go to cookery class. So he has chosen that.”

Kareena Reveals Taimur Asks Her About Virat Kohli, Lionel Messi

When asked if the reason why he doesn’t want to be an actor is because he is surrounded by actors in his family, Kareena replied, “No I don’t think so. Because I think he is too young and he has not figured out exactly. He just knows we are going for shooting. He has never really met any other actors. The only thing he keeps asking is, ‘Are you friendly with Rohit Sharma? Are you friendly with Virat Kohli? Can you message him that if I can get that bat of his? Is there a contact that you have to Lionel Messi?’ I’m like ‘No. I don’t have his contact.’ He never asks me about any actor from Bollywood. Ranbir Kapoor to Ranveer Singh, he has no clue. He’s like, ‘Can I ask Virat Kohli a question?’ I’m like no you cant. I don’t know him.”

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan have been one of Bollywood’s most-loved couples since they tied the knot in 2012 after meeting on the sets of Tashan in 2008. They welcomed their first son, Taimur, in 2016, followed by Jeh in 2021.

On the work front, Kareena will next be seen in Daayra, her upcoming film with Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the project delves into dark themes of crime and justice.
