Saif Ali Khan hails from on of the richest families of India. They’re not rich just in terms of money but even in terms of heritage. The Pataudi palace is loved by everyone who’s heard about it and is a treat to the eye for all. However, Saif Ali Khan won’t be able to give a penny to his kids Ibrahim Ali Khan, Taimur Ali Khan, Jehangir Ali Khan and Sara Ali Khan. Let’s take a look at all the complicated legalities and break it down for you.
All of the properties and other relevant assets belonging to the House of Pataudi fall under the controversial Enemy Disputes Act of the India Government. This means that nobody can claim to be an heir of any of such property or assets that come under the purview of said act. If a person or persons wish to contend the Enemy Disputes Act and lay claim to any property or assets they feel are rightfully theirs, then they’ll have to move the High Court, failing which, the next option leads them to the Supreme Court and finally, the President of India.
According to reports, Saif Ali Khan’s great-grandfather, Hamidullah Khan, the Nawab under the British regime, never made a will to all his properties, due to which they could be some contention within the family, particularly from member descending from Saif’s grand aunt in Pakistan. It’s easier said than done before Saif Ali Khan passes down his property and assets both in Haryana and Bhopal to his kids with either Amrita Singh, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan, or his kids with Kareena Kapoor, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir.

Hopefully this gave a good idea about the entire legal situation and the idea of the process. Saif Ali Khan will be further seen in AdiPurush alongside Pan India star Prabhas. This also marks his second collaboration with Tanhaji Director Om Raut.
