1. Buy two of everything if you have two kids to help them get along with each other
In an old interview with The Indian Express, Kareena Kapoor Khan shared, “The one trick with two boys is, just buy two of everything.” She revealed that she always told her husband, Saif Ali Khan, to buy two of the stuff wherever they were.
2. Balancing parenting and work
Kareena once told Vogue India that she and Saif had made a pact. She disclosed that they had decided that when one of them was busy shooting for a movie, the other would try not to work on a film during that time.
3. Quality over quantity of time with children
While talking to Variety in 2023, the actress shared that she had learned that the quality of time without any kind of distraction is more important than the quantity of time spent with children. “Because children want focus from their parents, from their teachers, from their friends, that’s what they need,” she said.
In a recent interview at the India Today Conclave, Saif Ali Khan also shared similar thoughts. He said that the key for him was quality time with each of his children, so he preferred to spend time with them individually instead of just in a group.
4. Making your kids learn by first doing it yourself
During a conversation for the Kareena Kapoor Khan Film Festival, Bebo talked about regulating the screen time of Taimur and Jeh. She said that while wanting to put them to sleep, she and Saif read instead of watching TV. Kareena added, “Because I guess they learn from example – there’s no other way.” She explained that if the kids see their parents on the phone or screen, they’d also wish to do the same.
5. To inculcate good habits in them by setting an example
Speaking at an event earlier this year, Kareena stated that children took up habits by observing how their parents talked to each other. She mentioned, “Saif always tells me that we talk to each other with love, and therefore our children will talk to each other and others with love.” Bebo said that she tried to instill respect in her kids this way.

While promoting his forthcoming autobiography Sonny Boy, the Godfather actor said being a father at 84 has been ‘extraordinary.’
Although he and Alfallah don’t live together anymore, Pacino has found a way to stay connected with his son. “He does text me from time to time,” Pacino revealed. You know, I have this little person. Everything he does is interesting to me. So we talk,” the proud dad added. Whenever they interacted, the actor would play the harmonica to him. According to the actor, they have created this fun way to stay connected.
Part of the reason he wanted to write his autobiography was for his youngest son, in an attempt to stay around his child during major life milestones. “But things happen. I hope I am. I hope I stay healthy and he knows who his dad is,” he added.
Pacino and Alfallah welcomed their son in June 2023. At the time, an insider source revealed to PEOPLE that Pacino was “excited” about being a dad again. “Al loves being a father and always has,” the source said.
In an interview with The New York Times, when asked what movie of his he’d want his son to watch and grasp acting skills from. Pacino said, “I think he should start off with Adam Sandler’s,” referring to the 2011 comedy Jack and Jill, which featured his cameo. He continued to speak about his cameo saying it arrived at the right point in his life. “It came at a time in my life that I needed it because it was after I found out I had no more money,” he said. “My accountant was in prison, and I needed something quickly.
So I took this,” he added. He made his cameo in the film through a Dunkin’ Donuts commercial. However, since his appearance many people assumed that he shot the brand’s commercial. “I mean it’s just so unfair,” he added.
