Mansoor Ali Pataudi Sharmila Tagore To Saif Ali Khan

Mansoor Ali Khan and Sharmila Tagore’s marriage ceremony was held on 27th December 1969 in a true royal fashion and style at Pataudi. Sharmila Tagore wore the royal bridal attire for the wedding, which was later even worn by her daughter-in-law Kareena Kapoor when she tied the knot with Saif Ali Khan.

The couple stayed together in wedlock for 42 years, and Mansoor Ali Khan and Sharmila Tagore’s marriage was truly a marriage that lasted till death did them apart, when Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi passed away on 22nd September 2011. Mansoor Ali Khan was laid to rest at his native royal dominion of Pataudi, where his forefathers were also buried. After his death, Sharmila retired from films, making sparing public appearances thereafter.

Amrita was perhaps the only heroine who worked for 12 years with above 30 inch waist and she was completely chilled out. There was never any sense of competition with Saif. “I’ve done it and achieved it. Life has compensated for me in lot of ways. There still are perks in life,” said Mrs. Saif Ali Khan Pataudi who despite her nervousness on cam, believed in every word she was saying on national television.

Amrita returned to TV with Ekta Kapoor’s Kavyanjali and played the vamp. She had a promising role in Abhishek Varman’s 2 States based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel as Arjun’s mother.
