Sara Ali Khan Cuts Ties With Kareena Kapoor: No Rakhi for Taimur and Jeh, Rift in the Pataudi Family?

In what appears to be a significant rift within the Pataudi family, Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan has apparently cut off all ties with her stepmother, Kareena Kapoor Khan. Reports suggest Sara has distanced herself from Kareena and her stepbrothers, Taimur and Jeh, this year—breaking a long-standing tradition.

Sara Ali Khan Refused To Tie Rakhi To Kareena Kapoor Khan's Sons Taimur Ali Khan and Jeh

Every year, Sara used to celebrate the festival of Raksha Bandhan at Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s house, where she would tie rakhi to her stepbrothers, Taimur and Jeh. The celebration was a big family affair, often attended by Saif’s sisters, Saba and Soha Ali Khan, along with their families.

However, this year marked the first time Sara neither visited Saif and Kareena’s Mumbai residence nor tied rakhi to Taimur and Jeh. Instead, she shared pictures on her social media platforms, where she was seen tying rakhi exclusively to her real brother, Ibrahim Ali Khan. The affectionate photos with Ibrahim sparked speculations about the family’s internal dynamics.

Adding fuel to the rumors, neither Saif Ali Khan nor Kareena Kapoor attended the premiere of Ibrahim Ali Khan’s debut film “Naadaan,” a move which shocked many in the film industry. Apart from Sara, no family member was present to support Ibrahim, highly unusual for star families who are known to go all out for such events.

Further, during a recent incident at Saif’s house where a burglar broke in, Sara reportedly did not visit their Mumbai home and instead went straight to the hospital, from where she accompanied Saif back to her own house.

Sources claim Sara has been banned from entering Saif and Kareena’s home for quite some time now. This has led to widespread speculation about the cause of the rift. Was it due to some behavior from stepmother Kareena Kapoor that hurt Sara?

While neither party has made an official statement, the developments have certainly caught the attention of the media and fans. What do you think about this situation? Share your opinions in the comments.
