Saif Ali Khan and family to lose properties worth Rs 15,000 crore?

Saif Ali Khan and his family are facing the possibility of losing properties worth Rs 15,000 crore, thanks to a recent ruling from the Madhya Pradesh High Court. The court lifted a stay on these assets, meaning the government could now take control of them under the Enemy Property Act, which targets properties linked to people who migrated to Pakistan after Partition. Some of the properties at risk include Saif’s childhood home, Flag Staff House, and the Noor-Us-Sabah Palace.

The legal challenge is tied to Saif’s maternal grandfather, the Nawab of Bhopal, whose daughter migrated to Pakistan after Partition. Since Saif’s family is linked to this, the government is using this connection as the reason to seize the properties. Despite this, Saif is the grandson of the daughter who stayed in India, and he’s spoken about wanting to reclaim the family’s Pataudi Palace, which was leased out to a hotel chain years ago.

Saif has clarified that he never needed to buy back the Pataudi Palace because he already owned it. He now uses the palace as a summer retreat, and it’s also rented out for film shoots. His sister, Soha, recently shared some personal stories about the palace, including how it was built by their grandfather to impress his father-in-law, even though the construction ran out of funds midway.

On a different note, Saif made headlines recently after a break-in at his Mumbai home, where he bravely defended his family from an intruder. He sustained injuries during the altercation and required back surgery but was thankfully discharged from the hospital shortly after.
