Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan says she felt "terrible" when she was trolled for naming her sons Taimur and Jehangir. The star couple welcomed their second baby, a boy on February 21 this year. They have faced a lot of criticism on social media over the names of their kids.

Referring to the trolling as "unfathomable", Kapoor said these are the names that they had liked and that "there is nothing more to it". "They are beautiful names and they're beautiful boys. It's unfathomable why somebody would troll children. I feel terrible about it, but I have to just focus and get through it. I can't be looking at my life through the trolls," the actor told in an interview.

While the pair had revealed the name of their first child Taimur, born in 2016, to the media, they refrained from doing so when it came to their newborn. The name of their second son Jehangir, also called Jeh, surfaced on social media when her recent book was released.

When asked if she was worried about the religiously polarised India in which her children are growing up, Kapoor said, "Please don't ask me this question. You know how it is; it's very complicated."

Addressing the issue of equal pay, the actor said there has been a shift in Bollywood as a lot of female actors have started being vocal about it. "Just a few years ago, no one would talk about a man or woman actually getting equal pay in a movie," she said, adding, "I make it clear what I want and I think that respect should be given. It's not about being demanding, it's about being respectful towards women."
