Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan recently revealed that she doesn’t want her kids- Taimur and Jehangir (Jeh) to become actors and will happily accept if her children choose a different career path.

“I don’t want them to be movie stars. I’ll be happy if Tim comes and tells 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,” said Kareena in an interview with HT Brunch. Tim refers to her 5-year-old son Taimur.

Kareena shares Taimur and Jeh with actor-husband Saif Ali Khan. Taimur Ali Khan was born in 2016 while Jehangir Ali Khan was born in February 2021.

On being asked what she wants her kids to be, Bebo said, “I want both my sons to be thorough gentlemen, I want people to say they are well-brought-up, kind-hearted and I will think my job is well done.”

When Kareena was asked what kind of mother is she going to be to her young boys, the ‘Chameli’ actor responded by saying that she will not be an overinvolved, helicopter mom.

“I don’t want to be like a helicopter mom. I want them to learn to face challenges on their own by falling and getting up on their own. This is how I was raised by my mother and will do the same with my children,” Kareena told HT.

The actor further added, “My mom was like, do what you want, make your mistakes and then learn to repair them because that’s the way life works. So, this is how I am parenting my boys. When Taimur makes a mistake, I am like clean up your own mess. I want him to learn this way.”

The ‘Jab We Met’ actor also responded to how Jeh’s upbringing would be different from her elder son Taimur. Kareena said that she will attempt to keep Jeh away from the media eye, which she did not do in the case of Taimur.

“It was so overwhelming with Taimur… there was so much chatter, about his name, what he wears, what he eats, and whatnot. 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 pictures of Jeh yet and will keep it like this, even though Tim happily waves for the camera,” said Kareena.

However, pictures of Kareena’s younger son were released on social media. The pictures and videos were first put out by Viral Bhayani, who is an independent content creator and a fashion photographer from Mumbai.

Kareena Kapoor Khan recently released her first book ‘Pregnancy Bible’. In the book she wrote about the experiences she went through when she was pregnant with Taimur and Jeh, respectively.
