Taimur Khan will be celebrating his birthday at his grand father’s place, confirms dad Saif Ali Khan.

Taimur will be spending his birthday at his grandfather Randhir Kapoor’s place: Saif Ali Khan

There were stories doing the rounds that Taimur Ali Khan will be cutting two cakes on his birthday on December 20. That is what his doting mom Kareena Kapoor Khan told the media, as that is what Taimur demanded.

 Now it seems papa Saif who has decided to be the disciplinarian among the two parents has put his foot down.

There will be only one cake, and no birthday party as such.

Says Saif, “There will be a small cake and a Christmas party at his granddad (Randhir Kapoor)’s house.”

Keeping birthday plans for his superstar-son on a leash is an offshoot of the growing feeling that Taimur’s over-exposure in the media and his premature superstardom would play havoc with his healthy upbringing.

 Taimur’s grandmother Sharmila Tagore says, “Of course we love Taimur a lot. But all this attention at this young age is not healthy. Right now he’s too young to process it all. But when he becomes mature enough to understand what was happening, what will he make of  it all?”
