Kareena Kapoor has given THIS sweet nickname to her little baby Taimur!

28 Feb, 2017
Kareena Kapoor has given THIS sweet nickname to her little baby Taimur!Kareena Kapoor has given THIS sweet nickname to her little baby Taimur!

She is definitely following the famous "nickname" tradition of the Kapoor Khaandaan.

Indians are known over the world for not only their spicy food, but also for their sweet (sometimes weird) nicknames. I remember I had a cousin who was given the nickname Chotu and she was really annoyed with her parents and family as it became rather embarrassing for her later on in life, especially in college.

Bollywood families are also known for their strange and cute nicknames and the flag-bearer, in a way, for these nicknames is the Kapoor Khaandaan.

We all know that Rishi, Randhir and Rajiv Kapoor are known as Chintu, Daboo and Chimpu to their family members. Keeping the tradition Randhir gave his daughters, Kareena and Karisma, as Bebo and Lolo respectively.

In fact, both Kapoor sisters are known in the industry as Lolo and Bebo. Kareena even had a song on her nickname in the film Kambaqt Ishq.

Coming back to baby Taimur, gorgeous mummy Kareena has also given her baby Taimur a cute nickname. She has nicknamed him "Little John" and only addresses Taimur with that name. Daddy Saif, on the other hand, has his own nickname choices for Taimur.

In an interview to a leading daily, Saif said that he doesn't really call him Taimur all the time.

"Tim, that's what he's called (laughs). Tim Khan. Tim Pataudi. Timmy, Tim... What's your name? Taimur if it comes in... He's quite a fiery guy though, I must say. I hope he doesn't already understand that it's a strong name. He makes his feelings felt very strongly. Yells, not cries. Stop doing what you're doing and he's fine," he said.

Famous Bollywood nicknames

Kareena and Karisma are not the only ones with nicknames, cousin Ranbir Kapoor was called Ganglu by his grandfather Raj Kapoor. However, no one really calls him by that name now!

Kaabil actor Hrithik Roshan is known as Duggu amongst his family and friends. Bipasha Basu is called Bonny by her loved ones and the bubbly Alia Bhatt is lovingly called Aalu by her near and dear ones. (Yes, really!)

That's not all, you won't believe when we tell you that International sensation and Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra is called Mimi by her family.
