Saif Ali Khan, a prominent Bollywood actor, is known for his personal life just as much as for his successful film career. Born to a Muslim father and a Brahmin mother, Saif has lived a life that blends different cultures and religions. He has been married twice and is the father of four children.
A Star with Royal Lineage
Saif Ali Khan, born on August 16, 1970, is the son of legendary cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and renowned Bollywood actress Sharmila Tagore. Saif’s upbringing was a blend of Hindu and Muslim traditions, reflecting the diverse backgrounds of his parents. He received his education from Lawrence School, Sanawar, and Lockers Park School in England. With a mother who was a famous actress, it was natural for Saif to develop an interest in acting, which eventually led him to a successful career in Bollywood and the OTT space.
Bollywood Debut and Rising Stardom
Saif made his Bollywood debut with the film Parampara, although he was initially set to debut with Kajol in Bekhudi. However, due to his unprofessional behavior at the time, he was replaced. Saif himself has spoken about this incident in interviews. Despite this early setback, Saif went on to deliver memorable performances in films like Omkara, Kal Ho Naa Ho, LOC Kargil, Dil Chahta Hai, Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, and Hum Saath-Saath Hain. In addition to his film career, Saif has made a significant impact on OTT platforms with series like Sacred Games and Tandav.
Two Marriages and Four Children
Saif’s personal life has always been a topic of discussion. He first married actress Amrita Singh, who was 11 years older than him, in 1991. The couple had two children, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Khan. However, they divorced in 2004.
Later, Saif found love again with actress Kareena Kapoor, who is 10 years younger than him. After dating for a long time and living together, the couple got married in 2012. Saif and Kareena now have two children, Jeh and Taimur.
