Taimur's perfect airport look, Taimur getting a gym membership, Taimur posing for the paparazzi, cute baby Taimur enjoying Christmas, chubby-cheeked Taimur spending quality time with parents-- In short, the kid is all over the Internet doing a LOT of things.
To be honest, I know more about Taimur than I know about the kids in my family.

The kid was only a few days old and his name stirred up a controversy on Twitter.

While the not outraged ones did what they had to do.
He is so Pink. Instead of #Taimur they could have named him Jaipur. pic.twitter.com/8BjvQTHeAw

The obsession reached its peak when Taimur became the hot topic during Arun Jaitley's Budget 2018.
What's Taimur's take on the Budget?

And now Taimur, a little over a year old, has become social media's obsession. Taimur is beyond media's favourite kid. He is the newest Internet meme. And for Twitter users, they are busy mocking Indian media who are projecting the famous kid's daily routine activities as if it were a nuclear launch.

Taimur is important.

Media : aaiye sunghte hai taimur ki body se nikli hui ye khubsoorat khushboo
Only things that matter!
It's shameful that Indian media is hiding important information from us. Like, has Taimur Ali Khan started walking? What was his first word? How many teeth does he have? Honest journalism is dead!
— Ankita (@lady_gabbar) January 19, 2018
Can vouch.
taimur paida nahi release hua tha.
