Saif Ali Khan leaves hospital on January 21

The Bollywood star, who was injured recently in a knife attack, now faces a major legal battle over his ancestral estate as a Partition-era law retroactively classifies royal properties as “enemy property”, threatening his family’s legacy. The govt is claiming control of assets that had passed to the actor’s grandmother from her father, the last Nawab of Bhopal

Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, still recovering from a violent knife attack earlier this month at his Mumbai residence, now faces a daunting legal challenge that could strip his family of their ₹15,000-crore ancestral legacy.

This battle centres on the contentious Enemy Property Act, which threatens not just wealth but also the Pataudi family’s deeply intertwined historical and cultural heritage.
