The current owner of Pataudi Palace is Saif Ali Khan, the Bollywood actor and the son of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, the former captain of the Indian cricket team.
Pataudi Palace, a magnificent architectural marvel, has been in the Pataudi family for generations. It was built in the 19th century by Nawab Ibrahim Ali Khan, the ruler of Pataudi.
Here's a brief overview of the ownership history:
- Nawab Ibrahim Ali Khan: The original builder and owner of the palace.
- Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi: Inherited the palace from his father and was the last ruling Nawab of Pataudi.
- Saif Ali Khan: Inherited the palace from his father in 2011.
While Saif Ali Khan is the current owner, the palace is often referred to as the "Pataudi Palace" due to its long association with the Pataudi family. It remains a significant part of the family's legacy and a symbol of their rich history.
