Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are among the most adored couples in the industry. They never fail to give major couple goals. Their sons, Taimur and Jeh, also remain in the spotlight, capturing hearts with their adorable antics. Now, the Jewel Thief actor revealed that Taimur struggles with stage fright. He revealed that the little one gets nervous when facing a crowd.

In a video shared on Netflix India's YouTube channel, Saif Ali Khan opened up about his nine-year-old son Taimur Ali Khan during an interaction with his Jewel Thief co-star Jaideep Ahlawat.

He shared how Taimur has stage fright and said, 'Mujhe bahut darr lagta hai, Abba, logo ke saamne. Maine bola mujhe dialogues nahi bolne hain (I get scared in front of people, Dad. I said I don't want to recite any dialogues).' And somebody said, 'You are so great. You speak so many lines. I don't know how you learned these lines'."
