Mumbai: Lalita D’Silva, Taimur’s former nanny, expressed her disbelief over the news of the seven-year-old boy taking his dad Saif Ali Khan to the hospital after the attack on him by at their residence.
“Both of them were alone. It really shocked me that little Taimur took his father to hospital. At his age, the child’s mindset is so strong, that’s unimaginable…I have no idea about where he came from and how he entered. It is really a surprise. How will anybody know that he is entering, or he’s going to do such things? There are many officers coming and going for work. You’ve seen the building outside. I don’t know how he could have entered. It’s really a big surprise to everyone,” Lalita told India Today.
Asked about Saif, who looked fine after getting discharged from the hospital, Lalita said, “He is like a lion. He is a Nawab, after all… Blue blood. I really respect Saif sir – what a strong personality inside and outside. Taimur also has a strong personality, he will be strong like his Abba. His parents are very strong-minded. Kareena madam is also a very strong-headed lady; she is so disciplined, and she is so strong.”
The nanny revealed that celebrity couple Saif and Kareena Kapoor Khan always wanted to raise their children normally, just like any other parent and not like a star kid, adding that a bouncer used to accompany them wherever they went.
Lalita looked after Taimur and Jeh since they were infants, as well as Ram Charan’s daughter Klin Kaara.
Lalita also took care of Anant Ambani when he was a child.
“And not just Anant, I also took care of Isha and Akash too. Nita bhabhi I would call her then, now I call her ma’am. They are such a rich family, but have still not forgotten me. Hard work pays off, I worked dedicatedly with Anant. They invited me for Isha and Akash’s wedding too, but I was busy travelling with Taimur then. This time, Ram Charan sir and Upasana ji helped me stay back and attend the wedding,” Lalita told Hindustan Times in an earlier interview.
Saif was attacked by an intruder in the early hours of January 16 during a burglary attempt at his Bandra residence. He was rushed to Lilavati Hospital in an autorickshaw at around 3 am and Taimur, his elder son from Kareena, accompanied Saif to the hospital.
