Netizens troll Kareena & Saif on rumors of naming their son ‘Jehangir’

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan’s 2nd child is not even 2 years old, but his name has been dragged into a rude Twitter troll attack.

So much so, riding on the hate campaign, the hashtags #saifalikhan and #aurangzeb are trending on the social media platform.
The world knew that the child had been named ‘Jeh’ — his maternal grandfather Randhir Kapoor, in fact, had also referred to him as ‘Jeh’ when someone asked him for his name in response to the Randhir’s recent tweet that he was visiting his grandchild.

But then, reports started circulating that Kareena and Saif’s 2nd son was named Jehangir – and that made the troll army active.

The couple had named their first son Taimur after he was born in 2014 and then, too, they were greeted with negativity.

Those circulating the information that Kareena and Saif’s second child is named Jehangir quoted from Kareena’s just-released book, ‘Pregnancy Bible: The Ultimate Manuel for Moms-to-be’ (Juggernaut), where she’s said to have captioned Jeh’s pictures as ‘Jehangir’.

The book’s publisher, Chiki Sarkar, denied that Kareena had ever mentioned the name ‘Jehangir’. Said Sarkar: “In my capacity, I can say that she has always called him Jeh, her office calls him Jeh and in the book also she has called him Jeh.”

The troll army, however, did not wait for any clarification and seized upon the rumor to start its hate campaign.

One Twitter user wrote: “Taimur and Jehangir are not just a name it’s a slap on the face of Hindus. They could also keep the name of their children as Kalam or Irfan … Hindus, and others beware of these Islamist radicals or propaganda spreaders. #SaifAliKhan #KareenaKapoorKhan #Hindus.”

Another user wrote: “Taimur first & now Jehangir doesn’t surprise me anymore. Remember after the box-office success of ‘Tanhaji’ the actor said that ‘Tanhaji’ story is a fictional story. It is shameful after insulting Maratha & Maharashtra’s pride he is still living & earning in Mumbai. #SaifAliKhan”

In a recent Instagram Live with filmmaker Karan Johar, when asked about the name of her son, Kareena announced it was ‘Jeh Ali Khan’.
The big question is: Why are the trolls getting worked up when the mother and grandfather are calling the little one ‘Jeh’? Ask the rumor mongers.
