Needless to say, Saif Ali Khan has hurt the sentiments of many by passing statements on the history of India. Talking about Saif’s comment, in the interview, talking about his film Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior based on 17th-century Maharashtrian military leader Tanhaji Malusare, the actor said, “I don't think this is history. I don't think there was a concept of India till the British gave it one."
Meanwhile, this is not the first time Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan’s son Taimur Ali Khan’s name has been compared to Central Asian invader Timur. As Saif and Kareena received a lot of flak for naming their son behind the invader, the actor had told Mumbai Mirror earlier in 2017 that as they loved the sound of Taimur, they named their son that and cleared that it is a Persian name which means ‘Iron’.
