About Saif Ali Khan

Son of the cricket player and last titular Nawab of Pataudi, late Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, and actress Sharmila Tagore, a great-grandniece of poet Rabindranath Tagore, Saif Ali Khan has chosen not to follow in the footsteps of his father. When Saif first chose acting as a career, there was no looking back.   Having made his acting debut in 1992 with Parampara, Khan tasted success with the 1994 films Main Khiladi Tu Anari and Yeh Dillagi.   In 1993, he won the Filmfare Best Male Debut Award for Aashiq Awara. His breakthrough role came in 1994 with Yeh Dillagi starring opposite Kajol and Akshay Kumar which was his first major hit.   Khan went on to star in many films but they failed at the box office. He only had success with multi-starrer hits like Main Khiladi Tu Anari (1994), Imtihaan (1995),Kachche Dhaage (1999) and Hum Saath-Saath Hain: We Stand United (1999).
