He is addressed as Chota Nawab but did you know he had to buy his Pataudi palace back.
Talking about the struggle he faced to buy the place Saif in an interview said,
"People have a certain fixed notion. For that matter, even [with] Pataudi [palace], when my father died, it got rented to Neemrana Hotels. Aman [Nath] and Francis [Wacziarg] used to run [the hotel]. Francis passed away. He¡¯d said that if I wanted (the palace) back, I could let him know. I said: ¡®I want it back¡¯. They held a conference, and said, ¡®okay, you have to give us lots of money!¡¯ Which I then consequently earned.¡±

He further added, "So, even the house I¡¯m supposed to have inherited has been earned back through money from films. You can¡¯t live off the past. At least we can¡¯t in our family, because there was nothing. There is history, culture, beautiful photographs; and, of course, some land. It has been a privileged upbringing. But there¡¯s been no inheritance.¡±
