‘Bronze is the new gold’ says Kareena Kapoor as son Taimur comes third at school sports day


In a display of pride and joy, Kareena Kapoor Khan was the epitome of a proud parent at the Dhirubhai Ambani International School’s annual sports day. The event was graced with the presence of youthful competitors who are also the children of some of Bollywood’s biggest names. Shah Rukh Khan’s son AbRam, Shahid Kapoor’s daughter Misha, and Karan Johar’s twins Yash and Roohi were among the young athletes, with their famous parents looking on to support them. The star-studded sports day saw a flurry of activities and celebrations as these celebrities cheered on their little ones from the sidelines.

The buzz of the day was captured in an Instagram story by Karan Johar, showcasing a beaming Kareena Kapoor Khan holding a certificate of recognition awarded to her son Taimur for his athletic accomplishments. The friendly banter between Johar and Kapoor Khan could be heard, with Johar’s voice inquiring about a medal win. Kapoor Khan was quick to share that it was her son, affectionately called Tim, who had secured the honor.

Johar probed further, asking about the nature of the win, to which Kapoor Khan proudly responded that Tim had won a bronze medal. Playing along, Johar prompted, “And bronze is the….” which was met with a playful yet proud assertion from Kapoor Khan, finishing the sentence with “…new gold”, encapsulating the sentiment of triumph regardless of the rank.

The win for Taimur was in the 50 meters sprint race, where he dashed to third place, bringing home a bronze medal that was clearly cherished by his mother. In a heartwarming shared moment on social media, Kareena Kapoor Khan posted a picture sporting her son’s medal with a caption that pulsed with pride and a touch of humor, endearingly stating she’s the mother who wears her son’s medals and playfully suggesting that bronze has now become the household’s new gold, followed by the term ‘Mera beta’, a Hindi phrase translating to ‘my son’, paired with a star emoji.

Fellow celebrity parent Gauri Khan also took to social media to share snapshots of her son AbRam’s involvement in the sports day festivities. The photographs showcased Suhana Khan, AbRam’s sister, capturing videos of her younger brother competing, and later, a tender embrace between the siblings. The images portrayed Suhana as an encouraging cheerleader throughout the event, with Gauri Khan’s caption echoing the sentiments of a supportive parent, highlighting the activities that filled their day – running, jumping, throwing, and winning.

This celebration of youthful talent and celebrity support comes on the heels of previous performances by these young stars, notably at the school’s annual day function held the month prior. There, AbRam Khan demonstrated his burgeoning acting potential, mirroring his father Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic pose and delivering lines that captivated the audience. Similarly, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s daughter Aaradhya showcased her singing and acting prowess, further solidifying the school’s reputation as a nurturing ground for the artistic talents of these star children.

The Dhirubhai Ambani International School, known for its quality education and high-profile student body, has become a celebrated platform for these celebrity kids to not only excel academically but also to shine in extracurricular activities. The recent sports day event exemplified this synergy, with medals won and parent pride unmistakably broadcast for all to see. In particular, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s playful declaration of bronze being the new gold has resonated, encapsulating the sheer joy and pride that comes with parenting – a sentiment that transcends the glitz and glamor of the ordinary and situates these moments of parental pride on a relatable plane for many.
