Bollywood’s resident royals, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, on modern day aristocracy.
The son of the last Nawab of Pataudi, Saif Ali Khan, is the epitome of blue-blooded nobility with his calm demeanour and in-depth knowlege of his family’s history. Proud of his heritage, yet self-effacing about his upbringing, this royal doesn’t take fame too seriously and is more proud of his achievements as an actor. Featuring with Kareena in a shoot that explores his ancestory for the very first time, the two actors prove why their romance is eternal and why it is easy to fall in love with them, over and over again.
THE NAWAB VS THE ACTOR
WHAT SIGNIFICANCE DOES THIS SHOOT HOLD FOR YOU?
This kalgi that I asked my mother to give me for this shoot is something my father’s worn, and his grandfather’s worn…so it goes back, I think, four or five generations. I really wanted to wear it for my wedding but I just couldn’t, because I was running late and couldn’t figure out how to attach it. My great grandfather, father, and grandfather have been photographed in saafas and traditional family outfits. It’s very interesting to expose that side of the family for this shoot. I am going to click a picture of myself right now and send it to my mother, she will be really proud.
