Naming of Kareena - Saif's son

In the movie AMAR PREM (Immortal Love) when the nautch girl Sharmila Tagore tells Rajesh Khanna not to come to her abode as it gives BADNAAM (bad name) to her upper class paramour, the Superstar's response was via Kishore Kumar's epic song

KUCHH TO LOG KAHENGE,
LOGON KA KAAM HAI KEHNA.

Transliterated...

Something folks would say,
Their nature is to say something.

That was the year 1974.

Seven years later in 1981, Kishore's son Amit Kumar got Filmfare award in movie "Love Story" for his song "TERI YAAD A RAHI HAI" (Your thoughts come to me). Many accused Kishore Kumar, the one man Bollywood singer of the time, using his influence to tilt the coveted Award towards his son. 

When Amit Kumar aprised his dad about this innuendo, Kishore said to have famously replied - "BETA. KUCHH TO LOG KAHENGE, LOGON KAKAAM HAI KEHNA. TUM SIRF SOOR MAIN GAATE HI REHNA". Something folks would always say, because they have to say something. You simply continue to keep singing in tune.

Fast forward to the year 2030, when the grandson of the same nautch girl Sharmila from AMAR PREM, a teen Taimur Ali confronts his parents - "Why didn't you go through all the history books and take permission from everyone on Facebook on a Notarized Stamp paper to chose the name of your offspring ?". His parents respond could very well be,

KUCHH TO LOG KAHENGE
LOGON KA KAAM HAI KEHNA.
BETA, TUM APNA KAAM
KARTE HI REHNA.
