Taimur Ali Khan turns one: 12 absolutely adorable photos of Kareena-Saif's baby

<p>Media&#39;s darling, &#39;prince&#39; Taimur Ali Khan is all of one now. And his parents have whisked him away to Pataudi Palace- away from the prying lenses of the media- for an intimate celebration of his first birthday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
For the world, Taimur&#39;s aunt Karisma Kapoor&#39;s Instagram posts and stories are the only source of knowing how the day is being celebrated. Karisma has been sharing photos of the Birthday boy along with his family members over the past few days.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
We saw photos of Taimur enjoying a horse ride with his father, actor Saif Ali Khan and a ride on the tractor with his cousins, Karisma&#39;s children, Karisma and mom Kareena Kapoor.</p>

For the world, Taimur's aunt Karisma Kapoor's Instagram posts and stories are the only source of knowing how the day is being celebrated.

Media's darling, 'prince' Taimur Ali Khan is all of one now. And his parents have whisked him away to Pataudi Palace- away from the prying lenses of the media- for an intimate celebration of his first birthday. For the world, Taimur's aunt Karisma Kapoor's Instagram posts and stories are the only source of knowing how the day is being celebrated. Karisma has been sharing photos of the Birthday boy along with his family members over the past few days. We saw photos of Taimur enjoying a horse ride with his father, actor Saif Ali Khan and a ride on the tractor with his cousins, Karisma's children, Karisma and mom Kareena Kapoor.

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor will ring in their son's first birthday at the Pataudi Palace.

While there have been speculations on how his parents, actors Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor will be celebrating the little one's birthday, his aunt, Karisma Kapoor has given us a sneak peek into how the family will be celebrating the day. Karisma shared some warm family photos from the Pataudi Palace where the Khans and Kapoors have gathered to celebrate the little one's birthday. Kareena's mother Babita flew in with Karisma and her two children over the weekend to celebrate the special day.

<p>Director Akshat Verma says Saif Ali Khan was the first choice for his directorial venture<em> Kaalakaandi</em>&nbsp;but at one point the makers did approach Fawad Khan to play the same part.<br />
<br />
Akshat has revealed that when the film was with UTV, they were in talks with Fawad to play the role, which is now being played by Saif.<br />
<br />
&quot;Fawad was supposed to be one of the actors we talked to when the project was with UTV. It was around 2013... He was going to play the role Saif plays. But ultimately everything happens for a reason and for the best. No one could have done the role better than Saif,&quot; Akshat says in an interview with PTI.<br />
<br />
<em>Kaalakaandi</em>&nbsp;chronicles the story of six characters from different worlds of Mumbai in a span of 12 hours and how the lives of complete strangers intersect.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, Akshat says his &quot;instinct for Saif was right&quot; as he had written the film initially keeping him in mind.</p>

<p>&quot;When I first messaged Saif, I didn&#39;t get a reply from him. When I finally met him, it was almost two years to the date I had texted him, and I still have the message saved.<br />
<br />
&quot;This time, he had read the script because Ashi (Dua, one of the producers) had sent it to him. He said &#39;ok we are on&#39; in five minutes. So the time period was, on one hand two years and on the other, just five minutes to get Saif,&quot; he adds.</p>

<p>Akshat dived into the world of <em>Kaalakaandi</em>&nbsp;right after his big hit <em>Delhi Belly</em>, which he had written. He took nearly a year to write the script of <em>Kaalakaandi</em>&nbsp;but the project went through &quot;a mad roller coaster ride.&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;It is common knowledge that the film was earlier with UTV, we were about to shoot but four days before that the project was shut down. After that, things fell apart, we had to put it together again. Everything takes time,&quot; he said.<br />
Both <em>Delhi Belly</em>&nbsp;and <em>Kaalakaandi</em>&nbsp;fall in the genre of dark comedy, which is rarely explored in Bollywood.<br />
<br />
When asked is it because his scripts are so unconventional that people don&#39;t really understand his language and vision, Akshat says, &quot;Often people say they enjoy the script, love it, but (it is) not enough to make it as a film. It is like breaking up with someone by saying &#39;I love you but not enough to marry you.&#39;</p>

<p>But can the waiting period be frustrating and the director says, &quot;it is the most disappointing part&quot;?<br />
<br />
&quot;You feel that the time seems to move in six months chunk. Suddenly you look up and the year has gone by, it seems you haven&#39;t done anything. You have been trying, waiting, they (makers) read your script, get back to you, six months have gone by and then they say &#39;no,&#39;&quot; he said.<br />
<br />
In this scenario--where a project is being delayed and people are not willing to back your vision-- Akshat says the only way to keep himself motivated was by being &quot;stubborn.&quot;</p>

<p>Produced by Cinestaan Film Company and Ashi Dua Sara of Flying Unicorn, the film stars Saif along with Deepak Dobriyal, Vijay Raaz, Kunaal Roy Kapoor, Sobhita Dhulipala, Akshay Oberoi, Isha Talwar, Shenaz Treasury, Shivam Patil, Amyra Dastur and Neil Bhoopalam.</p>

<p><em>Kaalakaandi&nbsp;</em>is scheduled to release on January 12 next year.&nbsp;</p>

Feels like my film is releasing: Saif Ali Khan on daughter Sara's acting debut

<p>Saif Ali Khan&#39;s <em>Kaalakaandi </em>has generated a lot of curiosity ever since the makers have released its first trailer. A dark comedy by Akshat Verma, it has Saif Ali Khan playing a madcap living his life to the fullest after he learns he is diagnosed with stomach cancer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film was initially to release in 2017. But the censor board raised objections regarding some of its content and cleared it only now. The film is now scheduled to release on January 12th. But speculations are rife that Sanjay Leela Bhansali&#39;s<em> Padmavati</em> may also release on the same date. Would Saif&#39;s film stand a chance at the Box Office if such a situation arises?&nbsp;<br />
<br />
&quot;If Padmavati comes in [on that day], we will think of shifting our release date. I hope we don&rsquo;t have to do that. Kaalakaandi is a film I am proud of,&rdquo; Saif Ali Khan said to the media during the trailer launch event of the film.&nbsp;<br />
Saif&#39;s last few films haven&#39;t worked at the Box Office and the actor is aware of it. &quot;It&rsquo;s easy to think that people no longer want to see me in a film. But I don&rsquo;t do that. I get my confidence back every time, irrespective of whether my film works or not. I&rsquo;ll keep working and hopefully, things will fall into place,&quot;<a href="http://www.mid-day.com/articles/saif-ali-khan-will-shift-kaalakaandi-release-if-padmavati-hits-theatres/18803175">Mid-day</a> was quoted Saif&nbsp;as saying.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The actor is also okay with the idea if both <em>Kaalakaandi </em>and <em>Padmavati </em>release on the same day. &quot;It would have been nice to see <em>Kaalakaandi </em>releasing with Padmavati, as it shows that we have a film industry, which makes different kinds of movies. Recently, we saw <em>Secret Superstar </em>and <em>Golmaal Again </em>releasing on the same day and both films did well. Personally, I feel it&#39;s a good time to have films releasing alongside one another. But filmmakers are wary about it and you need to take that into consideration.&quot;</p>

<p><em>Kaalakaandi</em> also features Deepak Dobriyal, Vijay Raaz, Shobhita Dhulipala and Kunal Roy Kapur.</p>

For me, it`s not always like work, work, work, I think I have managed to balance between my professional life and personal life since the starting of my career." The actress was back fulfilling her professional commitments the very next month after having her son Taimur in December. The Ki & Ka star also shared that she and Saif now avoid late nights because she has to get up really early in the morning for her son Taimur."My whole timing has changed and this is a big lifestyle change for me and Saif both," she added. Meanwhile, on the work front, Kareena is currently shooting for her upcoming film Veere De Wedding that also stars Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhaskar.Helmed by Shashanka Ghosh, the flick is slated to release on May 18, 2018.

My whole timing has changed because of Taimur: Kareena Kapoor

<p>Jabalpur high court to hear a petition by&nbsp;Dr Arif Mirza, a Lahore resident, who claimed that he was the legal heir of the property in Bhopal.</p>

<p>Mirza claims that his mother was the daughter of former Nawab Hamidullah, the great-grandfather of Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan and&nbsp;the last Nawab of Bhopal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the impleadment application filed in the Court, Mirza seeks to be recognised as a legal heir of Nawab Hamidullah Khan, thereby allowing him to contest the claim on around 30 disputed properties worth crores of rupees.</p>

<p>However, the actor and his mother Sharmila Tagore have contested Mirza&#39;s claim in the court on the grounds that he was a Pakistani citizen and therefore not a legal heir, as per the Defence Rules and under the Enemy Property Rights Act. In their submissions, Khan alleged that his grandmother Nawab Sajida Begum is the &quot;sole successor&quot; to all properties &mdash; movable and immovable.</p>

<p>Responding to these claims, advocate Arjun Bobde submitted that even though his client Mirza lived in Pakistan, he was still an Indian citizen, DNA reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mirza further clarified to DNA that though he was born in Nagpur, Maharashtra, he spent a significant amount of time in Bhopal. &quot;I shifted to Lahore with my mother many years ago, and though my passport lapsed, I did not relinquish my Indian citizenship,&quot; Mirza said.</p>

<p>&quot;I wanted to return home a long time ago,&quot; Mirza said, sitting in Bobde&#39;s office. However, Mirza&#39;s dream was realised when he was granted a white passport &mdash; an emergency one, after a two-year struggle. &quot;It has been a very long time since I&#39;ve seen my childhood home in Bhopal,&quot; Mirza said while reminiscing about his plans.</p>

<p>Mirza hopes to take his time settling in and focus on the age-old property dispute his late father Nasir Mirza was involved with. &quot;First, I want to focus on the legal issues that I have to face, then perhaps, I don&#39;t know, I may pursue my Masters here,&quot; DNA quoted Mirza as saying.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Interestingly, Mirza and Saif&#39;s claim over the ancestral property in Bhopal is in danger after the Lok Sabha passed a long-pending Enemy Property (Amendment and Validation) Bill, 2016, amending the Enemy Property Act (it prevents the successors of those who migrated to Pakistan and China during Partition from claiming properties left behind in India).</p>


A Lahore resident Dr Arif Mirza has claimed that he was the legal heir of the property and it belonged to him.

Jabalpur high court to hear a petition by Dr Arif Mirza, a Lahore resident, who claimed that he was the legal heir of the property in Bhopal. Mirza claims that his mother was the daughter of former Nawab Hamidullah, the great-grandfather of Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan and the last Nawab of Bhopal. According to the impleadment application filed in the Court, Mirza seeks to be recognised as a legal heir of Nawab Hamidullah Khan, thereby allowing him to contest the claim on around 30 disputed properties worth crores of rupees. However, the actor and his mother Sharmila Tagore have contested Mirza's claim in the court on the grounds that he was a Pakistani citizen and therefore not a legal heir, as per the Defence Rules and under the Enemy Property Rights Act. In their submissions, Khan alleged that his grandmother Nawab Sajida Begum is the "sole successor" to all properties — movable and immovable. Responding to these claims, advocate Arjun Bobde submitted that even though his client Mirza lived in Pakistan, he was still an Indian citizen, DNA reported. Mirza further clarified to DNA that though he was born in Nagpur, Maharashtra, he spent a significant amount of time in Bhopal. "I shifted to Lahore with my mother many years ago, and though my passport lapsed, I did not relinquish my Indian citizenship," Mirza said. "I wanted to return home a long time ago," Mirza said, sitting in Bobde's office. However, Mirza's dream was realised when he was granted a white passport — an emergency one, after a two-year struggle. "It has been a very long time since I've seen my childhood home in Bhopal," Mirza said while reminiscing about his plans. Mirza hopes to take his time settling in and focus on the age-old property dispute his late father Nasir Mirza was involved with. "First, I want to focus on the legal issues that I have to face, then perhaps, I don't know, I may pursue my Masters here," DNA quoted Mirza as saying. Interestingly, Mirza and Saif's claim over the ancestral property in Bhopal is in danger after the Lok Sabha passed a long-pending Enemy Property (Amendment and Validation) Bill, 2016, amending the Enemy Property Act (it prevents the successors of those who migrated to Pakistan and China during Partition from claiming properties left behind in India).

Court to hear Pak man's claim to Saif Ali Khan's Bhopal property

&nbsp;<br />
&ldquo;This morning, I woke up to one such open letter (circulating online), written by Saif Ali Khan.

The actress wrote an open letter in response to Khan's letter slamming his comments on the 'relationship between genetics and star kids'

Days after Karan Johar and Saif Ali Khan came under fire for their “nepotism rocks” remark, Saif Ali Khan wrote an open letter apologising for what he said.

With one of her own, Kangana replies to Saif's open letter

<p>To whomsoever it may concern,</p>

<p>Over the last few days, a lot has been said and written about the skit on the IIFA stage by Karan Johar, Varun Dhawan and yours truly. Let&rsquo;s first see what happened here. &ldquo;Nepotism Rocks&rdquo; was a joke on stage. It&rsquo;s not something that I wrote or something I believe in. It was a joke on ourselves, between Varun (Dhawan), Karan (Johar) and me. It was not supposed to be a big deal, but I realised at some point, that it might have offended Kangana (Ranaut). I called her and apologised personally. That should be the end of it. Everybody needs to take a chill pill and back off.</p>

<p>However, in today&rsquo;s world, apologies are made through Twitter or though some other social media platform. That, is basically apologising to your fans and the world in general, instead of apologising to the person concerned, because you don&rsquo;t want to lose support. These are the times we live in. We wish each other happy birthday or offer condolences on social media. This is another reason I don&rsquo;t want to be on any social media platform &mdash; it feels fake. As far as the issue of saying something stupid on stage goes, I&rsquo;m sure it&rsquo;s not the first or the last time I&rsquo;m going to say something stupid in an attempt to be funny. And I apologised to Kangana, so I don&rsquo;t owe anybody else an explanation. The issue is over.</p>

<p>What I can&rsquo;t seem to understand are some of the media reactions to this. While most people have been sensible, three reporters from the websites BollywoodLife, The Quint and Elle India, made a point of saying that all I did was use big words like eugenics and genetics. I think it&rsquo;s extremely relevant in a conversation on nepotism, which means family favouritism, to talk about genetics and eugenics. Eugenics means well born and in a movie context, the genes (the DNA we&rsquo;re born with, not the blue trousers we wear) of, let&rsquo;s say Dharmendra&rsquo;s son or Amitabh Bachchan&rsquo;s son or for that matter, Sharmila Tagore&rsquo;s son come into play.</p>

<p>Because people are interested in what their children will be like and whether they will have the genes of their parents, in terms of their talent. If you need another example, then take race horses. We take a derby winner, mate him with the right mate and see if we can create another grand national winner. So, in that sense, this is the relationship between genetics and star kids. Hope that&rsquo;s clear? As for the girl from Elle: I&rsquo;m sorry you found words like eugenics in a conversation about nepotism misplaced. Perhaps if you got your head out of the hemline of the actress of the month and read a book, your vocabulary might improve.</p>

<p>The real flagbearer of nepotism, I&rsquo;d say is the media. Look at how they treat Taimur, Shahid&rsquo;s daughter Misha or even Shah Rukh&rsquo;s son AbRam. They photograph them and hype them up to be the next big thing and the child has no choice. From a young age they have to deal with being celebrities, which they don&rsquo;t really deserve, before they can even speak or talk, leave alone understand what is happening.</p>

<p>So, what is nepotism? I think nepotism means when you give somebody from your family a job that somebody else is better suited for. But, is that what happens in movies? Is that what people mean when they say that there is lot of nepotism in film industry? I think perhaps what Kangana means (and again I&rsquo;m only assuming here) by nepotism is that people from Dharma or Yashraj are against people like her, who have come up the hard way without their support and that they only support their own people. Whether that is true or not I have no idea and it&rsquo;s none of my business.</p>

<p>Nepotism is probably least prevalent in the movie industry and rampant in politics and business. Nepotism in dynastic politics is a well-known and unspoken truth. It&rsquo;s the same in business. But nobody talks about that. Nepotism is Donald Trump putting his daughter in the White House rather than someone who is better qualified. Actors are the soft targets. So if you say star kids have an advantage, of course, they do. It&rsquo;s an advantage created by the press because people are interested in them. There is a curiosity to see Taimur, Sara or Ibrahim. It&rsquo;s supply and demand. People want it, media serves it. So we&rsquo;re all part of the same vicious circle in that sense.</p>

<p>What&rsquo;s at play here are three systems. Aristocracy, the rule of the best, which is what this industry is. Ruled by the best. Also, meritocracy. It is ruled by the people with the most talent and it&rsquo;s also ultimately tempered by democracy, which is people power. Nepotism cannot work in the film industry because it is a democracy. The film industry is the most fair line of work. So yes, maybe I got a chance because of my mother, but that is more genetics than nepotism. It&rsquo;s a genetic investment that the producer was making.</p>

<p>Compared to an outsider, maybe I had a better chance of meeting people, but Akshay is also an outsider. When people saw him, they gave him a chance rather than give me one because they are businessmen who can spot talent. And when a hero walks in, they know. They want to imagine me as a privileged prince and so, it&rsquo;s nice to pull me down once in a while, I imagine. For every star kid, there are many guys and girls from total non-filmi backgrounds. Take Shah Rukh Khan, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Jackie Shroff... it&rsquo;s an endless list. Everyone knows this is the only industry where a spotboy can become a superstar. And to the idiot who gave the example of Arjun Kapoor for nepotism, I would just like to say that every film he has done, has worked. He should be an inspiration as an unlikely hero, not pulled down for nepotism. And that is the reason he is here. Not because of his father or uncle. It&rsquo;s the audience that makes a film a hit, not the family members, otherwise all kinds of people would be ruling the roost.</p>

<p>Lastly, Johnny Depp once told Kate Moss &mdash; and I have forgotten his advice and I&rsquo;m never going to forget it again &mdash; Never complain and never explain. That&rsquo;s good advice, I think.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Saif Ali Khan</p>
