Tragic Twist for Kareena Kapoor Khan: Saif Ali Khan Reportedly Loses Rs 15,000 Crore in Shocking Enemy Property Dispute
In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves through Bollywood and royal circles alike, Saif Ali Khan, the Nawab of Pataudi and beloved husband of superstar Kareena Kapoor Khan, is reportedly facing a devastating financial and emotional blow—a Rs 15,000 crore fortune allegedly lost due to unresolved legal complexities surrounding “enemy property.”
According to sources close to the family, the monumental loss stems from a decades-old legal battle over properties once owned by Saif’s grandfather, Nawab Ifteqar Ali Khan, in India. These properties, sprawling across prime locations in Uttar Pradesh, Bhopal, and parts of Delhi, were marked under the Enemy Property Act after the family’s ties to Pakistan post-Partition.
The Enemy Property Act, enacted in 1968 and amended in 2017, allows the Indian government to seize properties of individuals who migrated to Pakistan or China during and after the 1947 Partition. Despite Saif’s legal standing as a direct descendant and his Indian citizenship, the law does not permit inheritance claims on such properties—a fact that has left the Pataudi family devastated.
An insider close to the royal family revealed, “This isn’t just about money. It’s heritage. It’s identity. Saif always hoped to restore the legacy of his forefathers, not just for himself, but for his children. This loss has hit him hard—and Kareena is struggling to console him through the heartbreak.”
The estimated value of the disputed assets is a staggering Rs 15,000 crore (approximately $1.8 billion USD). These include palatial estates, ancestral havens, and priceless land parcels that once defined the stature of the Pataudi legacy.
Kareena Kapoor Khan, known for her composure and strength, is said to be “deeply saddened” by the legal outcome. Close friends describe her as a pillar of support during Saif’s emotional low, yet behind closed doors, she too is feeling the weight of the injustice.
“She’s doing her best to stay strong, especially for their sons, Taimur and Jeh,” a family friend disclosed. “But she knows how much these properties meant to Saif—not for the money, but for what they represented. Watching him silently suffer is breaking her heart.”
Saif, who rarely speaks publicly on private matters, had once admitted in an interview, “I don’t really own much. The government owns most of what we once had. What I truly own is my family and my work.”
Legal experts note that despite some earlier optimism, the 2017 amendment to the Enemy Property Act closed most doors for legal recovery by heirs. “Once the law was amended, it became virtually impossible for Indian citizens, even direct descendants, to reclaim these properties,” said Delhi-based constitutional lawyer Manish Verma.
The emotional toll on the Khan-Kapoor household is reportedly significant. Saif has canceled several professional commitments, and the family has retreated from the public eye in recent days. There are whispers that the couple may soon take a break abroad to escape the media frenzy and privately process the blow.
While neither Saif nor Kareena has issued an official statement yet, fans have flooded social media with support, posting messages like “Stay strong Saif,” and “Legacy is more than land—it’s love, family, and dignity.”
As Bollywood reels from this staggering revelation, one thing is clear: the emotional price of royal blood can sometimes be heavier than gold. And while Saif Ali Khan may have lost a kingdom on paper, in the eyes of those who know him, his true wealth lies in the grace with which he carries defeat—and the unwavering support of a wife who stands by him through every storm.
