Bollywood couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan have sparked a huge controversy, according to some, by naming their new born Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi. People have been ruthlessly trolling the new parents for having named their kid after the 14th century Turco-Mongol ruler and Mughal dynasty founder, Babur's ancestor.

Now seems the right time for us to go back in time and find out who the real 'Timur' was.
