BOLLYWOOD ACTOR Saif Ali Khan will be crowned as "Nawab of Pataudi" today in Pataudi Palace in Pataudi village, about 25 kilometers from Gurgaon in Haryana. The 41-year-old Chote Nawab will be crowned as the tenth Nawab of Pataudi riyasat. However, the title like Nawab or Maharaja, ceased to be recognised by the Indian government in 1971, and such titles are not recognised anymore. Pataudi has been ruled by Saif's forefathers since the early 19th century.
Earlier, Saif Ali Khan said in an interview that he would like to remember his father as the last Nawab of Pataudi, but for the sentiment of the villagers, he will receive the title after tying the pagdi. The people of Pataudi riyasat wanted Saif to continue the family tradition. For the turban-wearing ceremony, representatives of all the 52 villages under Pataudi riyasat bring a 9 metre-long turban for the Nawab, reported The Times of India.
Currently, Saif Ali Khan is producing his first home production film Agent Vinod, which is schedule to be released in 2012, and starring Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor.
