Actress Soha Ali Khan says her brother Saif Ali Khan, who welcomed his first child with Kareena Kapoor Khan on Tuesday, is doing "extremely well".

Saif and Kareena were blessed with a son, whom they have named Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi.

"Delighted to welcome Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi into the world. Both mother and son are healthy and doing well. Father is doing extremely well," Soha tweeted.
