At a recent award function, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan was seen joking with Akshay Kumar, wherein, she joked about her 1-year old son, Taimur being a threat to the actor. In the video, which has now gone viral, she is seen saying, "Akshay (actor Akshay Kumar), Taimur is a threat to you, I am telling you."
Kareena Kapoor was also seen saying the actor, who was sitting in the audience, about how Taimur would undoubtedly beat him at the Box Office if their films ever released together.

I control my feelings only so that my son can grow up like a regular kid. He deserves to have that chance sans any pressure."
