Raising a father

Appearing on Koffee with Karan 8, Kareena discusses how Saif became a dad only with Taimur as he was too young when Sara, Ibrahim were born

Bollywood gossip and laughs aren’t the only things you get when Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt share the couch. In the latest episode of Disney+ Hotstar’s Koffee with Karan 8, the two delved deep into their personal lives, with Kapoor speaking about cherishing her role as a mother to Taimur and Jehangir, and finding a supportive co-parent in husband Saif Ali Khan.

In the sections of Kwiz & Tell and Ask Me Anything, the actor reflected on how Khan—who has two kids, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan with ex-wife Amrita Singh—has evolved as a father over the years. She stated that he is a hands-on dad to Taimur and Jehangir, something that his youth and chock-a-block work schedules had taken away from him in Sara and Ibrahim’s growing-up years.

“Saif actually grew up with his own kids. He had Sara and Ibrahim [when he was] very young himself,” said Kapoor. When host Karan Johar asked her if she feels he found his footing as a father when they had Taimur, she said, “Obviously, he has a lot of time now. When he had become a father back then, he was also working, he was in his 20s. [He was] trying to build his career, start his life.”
