Saif Ali Khan recently revealed an interesting fact about his father, Mansoor Ali Khan, who was Nawab of Pataudi. The latter was also known as Tiger Pataudi. However, few people know that Saif's father changed his name in 1971. In a televised debate, the actor explained why this had happened. Saif said the change took place when princely titles were abolished in India in 1971. His father, who previously headed the Indian cricket team, lost his captaincy at about the same time. When the government banned princely titles, Saif's father was renamed Mansoor Ali Khan. Not only that, he even changed his signature to match his name.
Saif is also reminded that he had questioned his father once on his two names. The latter stated that although he was born with the name, things changed after 1971. He also told Saif that Khan would also be his name. Saif added that while he is very proud of Pataudi, he considers himself an actor and has never been interested in being a Nawab. Saif's father, a legendary figure of Indian cricket, died on September 22, 2011 from respiratory failure.
