Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is crowned as the 10th Nawab of Pataudi today in Pataudi Palace.
The ceremony is very small and private and was attended by very few people.
He is the first titleholder from Bollywood.
Though the title of 'Nawab' is not recognised by the Indian government any more, this ceremony is being done for its sentimental value, especially for the people of Pataudi. Pataudi has been ruled by Saif's forefathers since the early 19th century.
Reports also suggest that Saif will not use the title of Nawab and wants to remember his father as the last Nawab of Pataudi.
Saif's father Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi died on September 22, 2011.
