Saif and Kareena welcomed their little prince, Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi on December 20, 2016, and the cutiepie has already become everyone’s favourite. When Saif became a dad at 46, he happily quipped:

“I feel 40-45 is a good age. Although my father was not a very religious person, he wrote me a note on my 40th birthday that said, ‘The secret of Islam was revealed to the Prophet on his 40th birthday’. I think what he meant was that this is the age when you are sorted. So, it’s a great time to have a kid. I don’t feel like it’s an additional responsibility. Instead, I am like, ‘I want to (have a child)’.”
