Fans of Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan have been rejoicing ever since the news of the arrival of the couple’s first born broke on Tuesday. The couple, in an official statement, announced that they have named their son Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi. And soon enough, the name started trending on social media with all sorts of reaction over the name.
Later at night, a photo of Kareena lying at a hospital bed kissing the forehead of a new born baby went viral. The photo claimed to be the first photo of baby Taimur along with his actress mother. While most rejoiced seeing the photo, no one could establish its authenticity.
According to the couple’s spokesperson, the photo is fake. Speaking to ABP News, Kareena's PR denied that any photo of the actress and her newborn have been circulated to the media.
