It would be wrong to call Taimur Ali Khan a celeb baby, because since his birth in December last year, he himself has acquired the status of a celebrity. People clamour for his photographs and his parents are only asked questions about him.
But even with all the public scrutiny, it seems that Kareena and Saif Ali Khan are determined to make sure that their little Nawab grows up in a fairly normal environment. And that means helping him make friends.
So while details of his playmates was earlier kept under wraps, it seems that new dad and close friend Karan Johar has spilled the beans.
Johar reveals details of Taimur's closest friends
In his recent interaction with the media, he revealed the details of Taimur's closest friends. He also added that the two sets of new parents are planning to take all the babies out for a vacation together.
If you haven't already guessed it, let us tell you he was talking about his twins- Roohi and Yash.
Sharing details of how he is planning to bring them over to his own office and take them out more often, Johar revealed, "Now that they are home, I cannot stay away from them for long. It’s only been hours since I’ve been away, and look at me! I’m sharply aware of the time, I keep looking at my phone, because it’s the channel to my kids. I’ve decided that as soon as they are old enough, and before they start school, I’m going to bring Roohi and Yash to the office."
Taimur, Roohi and Yash's travel plans
As for making friends with Taimur he said, "I’m also looking forward to them travelling with me when I go outstation on shoots. Bebo’s son Taimur is a few months older than Roohi and Yash, and she and I have already started making plans for holidays together!”
The excited new father also shared that while many people may accuse him of being an over-protective father and allowing only a handful of people to meet his babies, he is just being a good parent.
And that means being extremely cautious of cleanliness around them.
"I insist they sanitise their hands and take off their footwear first"
Johar shared his concerns about his visitors and said,"I insist they sanitise their hands and take off their footwear first. Babies absorb energy. I like to think they are making eye contact with everyone but they’re just looking into oblivion. I like to imagine they are smiling in recognition but actually they’re just passing gas!"
Well, we are positive even Saif and Kareena have these basic rules for their visitors as well, just as all parents should.
But these are just a few, there are a many other things you must tell your baby's visitors before they start touching them and kissing them all over.
3 rules to follow while visiting a new baby
- Wait to be invited: Refrain from dropping over at a newborn's unannounced, especially during his or her early days. Remember that new parents have to adjust to a lot of new things including breastfeeding and napping schedules and uninvited visitors may disturb this learning process.
- Offer to self-serve: You may be a guest at the house, but when it is a newborn's house think of yourself as the host and not the guest. Do not wait to be served, instead help the new parents however you can and try to wrap up your visit as soon as possible.
- Be polite and helpful: You may have a lot of experience with child-rearing and may have some advice, but try to save it for another time or only say things that are encouraging to the new parents. Looking for loopholes, pointing at them and criticizing their parenting style is a strict 'No-No'.
