    Saif Ali Khan (pronounced [ˈsæːf əˈli xaːn]; born Sajid Ali Khan Pataudi; 16 August 1970)[1] is an

    Indian actor and film producer who primarily works in Hindi films. Current head of the Pataudi
    family, he is the son of actress Sharmila Tagore and cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. Khan has
    won several awards, including a National Film Award and seven Filmfare Awards, and received
    the Padma Shri, the fourth highest Indian civilian award in 2010.[2]

    Khan made his acting debut in Parampara (1993), and had success in the multi-starrers Yeh
    Dillagi (1994), Main Khiladi Tu Anari (1994), Kachche Dhaage (1999) and Hum Saath-Saath
    Hain (1999). In the 2000s, he gained praise and won multiple awards for his roles in the romantic
    comedies Dil Chahta Hai (2001) and Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003), and had success as a solo male star in the
    romances Hum Tum (2004), Parineeta, Salaam Namaste (both 2005) and Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007).

    Khan also earned critical acclaim for playing a manipulative businessman in Ek Hasina Thi (2004), an
    apprentice in the English film Being Cyrus (2006) and the Iago character in Omkara (2006). He had
    further commercial success in the action thrillers Race (2008) and Race 2 (2013), and the romantic
    comedies Love Aaj Kal (2009) and Cocktail (2012). Between another string of under-performing
    ventures, Khan was appreciated for headlining Netflix's first original Indian series Sacred
    Games (2018–2019) and had his highest-grossing release in the historical drama Tanhaji (2020).

    Khan has been noted for his roles in a range of film genres—from crime dramas to action thrillers
    and comic romances. In addition to film acting, Khan is a frequent television presenter, stage show
    performer, and the owner of the production companies Illuminati Films and Black Knight Films.

    Early life and family

    Khan was born on 16 August 1970 in New Delhi, India to Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, a former captain
    of the Indian national cricket team, and his wife Sharmila Tagore, a film actress.[3][4] Khan's father,
    who was the son of the last ruling Nawab of the princely state of Pataudi during the British Raj,
    received a privy purse from the Government of India under terms worked out in the Political
    integration of India, and was allowed to use the title Nawab of Pataudi until 1971 when the title was
    abolished. Following Mansur Ali Khan's death in 2011, a symbolic pagri ceremony was held in the
    village of Pataudi, Haryana to "crown" Khan as the "tenth Nawab of Pataudi", which Khan attended
    to please the sentiments of the villagers, who wanted him to continue a family tradition.[a] Khan has
    two younger sisters, jewelry designer Saba Ali Khan and actress Soha Ali Khan. He is the paternal
    grandson of Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, who played for the Indian cricket team in England in 1946,
    and Sajida Sultan, the Nawab Begum of Bhopal. Hamidullah Khan, the last ruling Nawab of
    Bhopal was his great-grandfather, and the cricketer Saad Bin Jung is his first cousin.[3][6][7] He is also
    the great-grandnephew of Abida Sultan. Saif Ali Khan great-grandson of Major General Sher Ali Khan
    Pataudi who served as the Chief of General Staff of the Pakistan Army, and the grandnephew
    of Shahryar Khan, Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board and Ashiq Hussain Qureshi, Pakistani test
    Cricketer. Notably, Saif's paternal uncle Major-General Isfandiyar Ali Khan Pataudi (son of Sher Ali
    Khan Pataudi), has served as the Deputy Director General of Pakistan's ISI.[8][9][10][11]
