When Kareena Kapoor Revealed Taimur’s Fascination With Lionel Messi

Kareena Kapoor Khan has often spoken about her son Taimur’s fascination with sports stars. In a conversation with Soha Ali Khan on her podcast ‘All About Her’, Kareena said that Taimur has no interest in Bollywood, and is instead starstruck by Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Lionel Messi.

“He has 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 him that if I can get that bat of his? Is there a contact that you have to Lionel Messi?’ I’m like ‘No. I don’t have his contact.’ He never asks me about any actor from Bollywood. Ranbir Kapoor to Ranveer Singh, he has no clue. He’s like, ‘Can I ask Virat Kohli a question?’ I’m like no you cant. I don’t know him,” said Kareena.
