Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan sits on stage near a portrait of his late father as he is made the new Nawab (Muslim prince) of Pataudi on October 31, 2011 in a private ceremony at his ancestral home in Gurgaon, the northern Indian state of Haryana.
Saif Ali Khan became the tenth nawab of the former princely state after the death of his 70-year-old father, Mansur Ali Khan, in September. Like the heads of other former Indian princely states that were taken over after the British left in 1947, the title is now ceremonial with no formal powers.
