Born as Sajid Ali Khan to actress Sharmila Tagore and former Indian cricket captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Saif fooled his mother's footsteps and pursued a career in showbiz.
He made his debut in Yash Chopra's Parampara (1993) but tasted success with Main Khiladi Tu Anari, which released a year later.
After a decade and half of playing the romantic hero, Saif changed guard and took up different roles.
While his portrayal of Langda Tyagi, a villainous character won him accolades, a foul-mouthed 'Boris' in Go Goa Gone won the critics over.
Saif is six-time Filmfare Award winner along with a National Film Award for Best Actor.
