MUMBAI: Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan are one of the most popular celebrity couples.
The two and other members of the Pataudi family often spend their time at the Pataudi Palace which is a heritage property. The majestic Pataudi Palace is worth over Rs 800 crores and has been seen in several films including Veer-Zaara.
Pataudi Palace has about 150 rooms. However, during an interaction with Mumbai Mirror, when Saif was asked about it, he stated, "It’s impossible to put a value to it in monetary terms because emotionally, the property is priceless. My grandparents and father are buried there, there are security, serenity and a spiritual connection there for me. The land goes back by a few centuries, but the palace that my grandfather built for my grandmother is around a hundred years old. He was the ruling monarch then, but since then, privy purses and titles have been abolished."
