Rishi Kapoor is on a mission to persistently prove that Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan were right in their stance to name their son Taimur Ali Khan. If you have been ignorant over the fuss that has been going on about the name, let's give you a short brief on this. Kareena and Saif gave their newborn son the name Taimur, which I believe in Arabic means born of iron'. However the little child also shares his name with an ancient Turkish emperor known for his bloodthirsty ways, Timur (also pronounced Taimur). The emperor was said to be very notorious for the mass murders of millions of people in his regime and have looted several countries while expanding his empire, including India. Naming the kid with a name similar to this king didn't go well with certain Twitter users, and they began to abuse Saif-Kareena on the social networking sites.
Kareena's uncle, Rishi Kapoor, who is very active on Twitter had took up the defence of his niece and her husband and have been fighting back to these trolls. Recently he shared a post where it was mentioned that former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes had named his daughter India because he found peace in there and the country was all about diversity. For some reason, Rishi Kapoor thought it was okay to connect this post over the controversy over Taimur's name, as he tweeted...
Rishi Kapoor "@chintskapYou caught it right! Thank you Johnty Rodes for that. Only parents have the right to name their kids whatever

While we do appreciate his honest intention behind the post that only the parents have the right to name whatever they wish for their children, the connection he was trying to build between India and Taimur was kinda weak and was not justifiable enough. Naturally, Twitterati caught on to this gaffe...
Dr Shobha @DrShobha@chintskap Absolutely parents prerogative. But do read why Jonty Rhodes names his child India in the image.Do u believe in sound vibrations
