- Happy Birthday Prince Saif Ali Khan Pataudi
Bollywood's only Nawab is now year older. Yes we are talking about Saif Ali Khan Pataudi who has now turned 44. Born in on 16 August 1970 to famed parents the late former India cricket captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi and legendary Bengali actress Sharmila Tagore. Saif's paternal grandfather, Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, eighth Nawab of Pataudi, played cricket for England and after 1947 for India as the captain of the team. But Saif did not follow the cricket legacy in the family and chose his mother's career instead - films. Having made his acting debut in 1992 with Yash Chopra's Parampara, he had his first success with the 1994 films Main Khiladi Tu Anari and Yeh Dillagi. After going through several years of decline throughout the 1990s, Khan rose to prominence with his performance in Farhan Akhtar's Dil Chahta Hai (2001), which marked his professional turning point.
