Actor Saif Ali Khan’s film ‘Devara’ was released in theaters on September 27. Saif has been in the news for a long time regarding this film. At the same time, ever since the actor has taken back the ownership of his ancestral house, ‘Pataudi Palace’, speculations of turning it into a museum have also intensified. However, Saif Ali Khan himself dismissed these speculations and said that his house has a very special place in his heart.

While talking about the significance of his historic home ‘Pataudi Palace’, Saif in a conversation with one of the media houses said, ‘Legacy-wise, this house has belonged to different people over time. My father was born a Nawab, he was a Nawab. He lived life on his own terms and he was the most wonderful person. He said times have changed and he decided to rent the house to a hotel. I remember my grandmother telling me, ‘Never do this’. It has history and it is something I am proud of.’

The actor further added, ‘My grandparents are buried there, my father is also buried there. This is my family home. There are a lot of old houses here, we call them Darbar Hall, but I think that name has become outdated. I want to call it the Long Room after the hall of the lords. This house was built by the seventh Nawab of Pataudi and my father. I want to put his cricket field and bat here and I really want to recreate this house with his spirit. This has been my dream, and it is almost done.’

Let us tell you that in an interview on a YouTube channel some time ago, Saif Ali Khan’s sister Soha Ali Khan revealed that their mother, Sharmila Tagore, looks after the accounts of the house and she herself is responsible for running the house. She is the person who looks after all the arrangements of the Palace. She shared that she keeps track of the daily and monthly expenses of the house.
