Saif Ali Khan’s Pataudi Palace, also known as Ibrahim Kothi, is located in Pataudi, Gurgaon district, Haryana, and is a symbol of royal heritage and grandeur.

Built by Iftikhar Ali Khan, the last Nawab of Pataudi, the palace carries a rich legacy, making it a significant historical landmark.

The palace is worth Rs 800 crore and spans across 10 acres, offering an expansive estate perfect for relaxation and leisure.

Designed by British architect Robert Tor Russell and Australian architect Carl Moltiz Von Hentz, the construction of Pataudi Palace began in 1900 and was completed in 1935.

After the passing of Saif Ali Khan's father, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Saif inherited the property. He later bought it back from Neemrana Hotels, which had been leasing it until 2014.

In an interview with Vogue India, Saif Ali Khan spoke about how the palace represents his deep connection to his late father, Mansoor Ali Khan, and his family’s history.

The Pataudi Palace is home to 150 rooms, including seven bedrooms, seven dressing rooms, and multiple billiard rooms, creating a lavish living space.

The palace features a magnificent Durbar Hall and several royal chambers, showcasing the royal essence of the property.

The palace's architecture is characterized by intricate archways, detailed carvings, and impressive domes, adding to its timeless charm.

The vast outdoor areas of the palace provide a peaceful retreat, where Saif, Kareena, and their children, Taimur and Jeh, are often seen enjoying family time.

Pataudi Palace has served as the backdrop for several Bollywood films, including Animal (featuring Ranbir Kapoor), Rang De Basanti (starring Aamir Khan), and Veer-Zaara (headlined by Shah Rukh Khan). The palace continues to be a prominent film location.
