Star kids and GK tests
Saif Ali Khan with wife Kareena Kapoor Khan and sons
Students of a private school in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, were asked the name of the son of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan in a question paper, prompting the education department to issue a show-cause notice to the institute. The Academic Heights Public School authorities said the question should be seen as an effort “to enhance” the students’ knowledge. The question appeared in the general knowledge paper of class VI students. It eventually made its way to social media. The couple’s kids, older son Taimur, and younger son Jehangir, are celebrities in their own right.
