Saif Ali Khan
Born on 16 August 1970 is an Indian film actor and producer. The
son of actress Sharmila Tagore and the late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi,
Khan made his acting debut in Yash Chopra's unsuccessful drama Parampara
(1993), but achieved success with his roles in the romantic drama Yeh Dillagi
and the action film Main Khiladi Tu Anari (both 1994). Khan's career prospect
declined through much of the 1990s, and his biggest commercial success of the
decade came with the ensemble drama Hum Saath-Saath Hain (1999). He rose to
prominence with roles in two ensemble comedy-dramas—Dil Chahta Hai (2001) and
Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003).
The 2004 romantic comedy Hum Tum
proved to be Khan's first success in which he played the solo male lead,
earning him the National Film Award for Best Actor, and starring roles in the
drama Parineeta and the romantic comedy Salaam Namaste (both 2005) established
him as a leading actor in Bollywood. He went on to earn wide critical praise
for his portrayal of an apprentice in the 2006 English film Being Cyrus, a
character based on William Shakespeare's antagonist Iago in the 2006 crime film
Omkara and a terrorist in the 2009 thriller Kurbaan. Khan's greatest commercial
success came with the 2008 thriller Race and its 2013 sequel, the 2009 romance
Love Aaj Kal, and the 2012 romantic comedy Cocktail.
Khan is the recipient of several
accolades, including a National Film Award and six Filmfare Awards, and
received the Padma Shri, the fourth highest Indian civilian award, in 2010. He has been noted for his performances in a range of film genres—from crime
dramas to thrillers and occasional romances—and his film roles have been
credited with contributing to a change in the concept of a Hindi film hero.
Divorced from the actress Amrita Singh with whom he has two children, Khan has
been married to the actress Kareena Kapoor since 2012. In addition to film
acting, Khan is a frequent television presenter, stage show performer and the
owner of the production company Illuminati Films.
