Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan is an Indian actor and film producer born August 16, 1970, who emerged as one of Bollywood's most consistent leads across romance, crime, and action. Son of actress Sharmila Tagore and cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Khan inherited the title of Pataudi family head in 2011. He made his acting debut in Parampara in 1993 and found early success in multi-starrers including Yeh Dillagi, Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Kachche Dhaage, and Hum Saath-Saath Hain. The 2000s solidified his solo stardom: romantic comedies Dil Chahta Hai and Kal Ho Naa Ho earned him critical praise and multiple awards, while Hum Tum, Parineeta, Salaam Namaste, and Ta Ra Rum Pum proved his range. Khan expanded into darker territory with the crime drama Ek Hasina Thi, the English-language film Being Cyrus, and a Shakespearean turn in Omkara. Action thrillers Race and Race 2, paired with the rom-com hits Love Aaj Kal and Cocktail, maintained his commercial footing through the 2010s. His career renaissance included a critically acclaimed role in Netflix's Sacred Games (2018–2019) and his highest-grossing releases in Tanhaji and Devara: Part 1. Khan has collected a National Film Award, seven Filmfare Awards, and the Padma Shri in 2010, India's fourth-highest civilian honor. Beyond film, he presents frequently on television, performs on stage, endorses brands, and operates production companies Illuminati Films and Black Knight Films. Astrologically a Leo born in mid-August, Khan embodies the sign's confidence and creative magnetism. As an actor, he performs across mediums—film, television, and live performance—blending commercial appeal with critical credibility. Khan was married to Amrita Singh for thirteen years, then to actress Kareena Kapoor; he has four children.
