Born to star parents Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore, Saif Ali Khan tasted his own share of success with his first film "Aashiq Awara" opposite newcomer Mamta Kulkarni. He could have done this much earlier but due to some reasons that was not possible. This movie did the trick for Saif Ali Khan.
Saif Ali Khan may not have been a good dancer or an actor as such, but it was because of his dynamic personality that he achieved whatever he has today. After his first movie, things had come to a standstill. He could have become a film-wonder, had Yash Chopra not offered him multi-starrer movies like "Parampara" and "Yeh Dillagi".In fact,it was the latter movie which revived the hope in Saif Ali Khan. His playboy image was appreciated and tapped. This fetched him more films like "Mein Khiladi Tu Anari" (Akshay Kumar), "Yaar Gaddar" and "Suraksha". There were traces of him in the industry only because of the former film. Others all were duds. But in the recent past, there came movies like "Arzoo","Hum Saath Saath Hain" and "Kachche Dhaage" which had some acting stints from this actor. Otherwise, Saif Ali Khan had strings of flops which were not able to do much for him. It is proved that even somebody like him with star partners needs to have talent to survive in the industry.
He has come off pretty good as the 'cool casanova' in Kundan Shah's "Kya Kehna" starring Preity Zinta and Chandrachur Singh.He has been signing lots of big banner films,which should help him reach the dizzling heights of success that every actor dreams of.
