Actor Kareena Kapoor said that her son, Taimur Ali Khan, isn't really interested in actors and acting, and that she sometimes encourages him to pick drama as one of his extracurricular activities but he doesn't want to. She also opened up about Taimur's interests, and said that he is no longer bothered about being photographed by the paparazzi. Kareena appeared on her sister-in-law Soha Ali Khan's podcast, where she discussed motherhood and parenting. She said that Taimur enjoys playing sports with his father, and is more scared of him than he is of Kareena. Kareena said that Taimur has no interest in drama as of now. "Every time he needs to pick up an extracurricular activity in school, and there's drama on the list, I ask him if he wants to. He says, 'No, I don't like it, I don't enjoy it'. I tell him, 'Try and act'. But then I don't push him, because he knows what he wants. He told me he wants to go to cookery class, because he sees his dad cook."

He's never really met any other actors. The only thing he keeps asking is, 'Are you friendly with Rohit Sharma? Are you friendly with Virat Kohli? Can you message and ask him if I can get that bat of his? Is there a contact you have for Lionel Messi?' I'm like, 'No! I don't know them!' You ask him about any actor, from Ranbir Kapoor to Ranveer Singh, and he has no clue. He isn't even interested in music, he's just interested in some Chelsea player right now." In a chat with his Jewel Thief co-star Jaideep Ahlawat on the Netflix India YouTube channel, Saif said that Taimur recently tried acting and quite enjoyed it. “Taimur is doing a school play, and he said, ‘Mujhe bahut darr lagta hai, Abba, logo ke saamne. Maine bola mujhe dialogues nahi bolne hain (I get scared in front of people Dad. I said I don’t want to recite any dialogues).’ And somebody said, ‘You are so great. You speak so many lines. I don’t know how you learned these lines’,” he said.
