Yesterday was little Nawab Taimur Ali Khan’s birthday and it was as princely as it could get as he spent it surrounded by family in his father’s ancestral home in Pataudi. While Saif Ali Khan gifted the little prince a jeep, mommy Kareena went a step ahead and gifted him a forest with nutritionist Rujukta Diweker.
Located in Sonave, 50 kms from Mumbai, it is a community farming initiative, that "thrives on intercropping". The idea behind the gift was to ensure that Taimur grows up to understand diversity and the importance of ecologically sustainable ways of life. The forest is spread over 1000 square feet, and is said to include a lot of trees including three jamun, one jack-fruit, one amla, 40 banana, 14 moringa, one kokum, one papaya, five custard apple, two persimmon and two lemon trees. Check out Rujuta’s post for more details:
According to Rujukta’s Instagram post the little Nawab is fond of nature and animals, so we bet this was the perfect gift for him. The forest will also grow native pulses, mirchi, ginger, turmeric and other green leafy vegetables. Not just will this underscore the importance of a green life for Taimur but the forest will also lend itself as a home for pollinating agents like butterflies, bees and birds. Very thoughtful of mommy Kareena, we must say!
Rujuta and Kareena have been sharing a special bond since Tashan in the year 2008, when Kareena Kapoor set the trend of size zero in the industry. Kareena also revealed how Rujuta helped her lose her post-pregnancy weight.
