Life

Bollywood's star couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan was on Tuesday blessed with their first child, a son, whom they have named Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi. Celebrities like Karan Johar and Sonam Kapoor sent out congratulatory messages for the new parents.

Kareena, daughter of veteran actors Randhir Kapoor and Babita, delivered the baby on Tuesday morning at the Breach Candy Hospital here.

Kareena and Saif, who have worked together in films like "Tashan", "Kurbaan", "Agent Vinod", LOC Kargil" and "Omkara", got married in October 2012.

Saif, the son of veteran actress Sharmila Tagore and the late Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, was earlier married to actress Amrita Singh and shares two children with her - daughter Sara and son Ibrahim.

He is doing "extremely well" after becoming a father again, says his sister Soha Ali Khan.

"Delighted to welcome Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi into the world. Both mother and son are healthy and doing well. Father is doing extremely well," Soha tweeted.

A statement released on behalf of the actors read:

Kareena's father Randhir told IANS: "The entire family is overwhelmed and is welcoming the new member in our family.... Thanks for all the blessings."

Actress and sister Karisma Kapoor took to Instagram to share the exciting news of becoming an aunt:

Her best friend Amrita Arora, who has been part of Kareena's closest circle throughout her pregnancy, posted on Instagram:

Taimur -- which in Persian language means iron -- has already been dubbed as "mini Nawab" by film fraternity members.

Filmmaker Karan Johar tweeted:

As is the case with every celebrity baby, photos of the 'mini nawab' being cradled by his mother have gone viral since Tuesday night. While the veracity of the photos cannot be confirmed independently, Kareena's rep has denied any photos of the baby have circulated in the media, ABP reported.

Decide for yourself. Fake or real?
