Presently owned by Saif Ali Khan, the palace originally belonged to Saif's father, the late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan. After a hotel company took control, Saif personally bought back the property. The palace, also known as Ibrahim Kothi, is situated in the town of Pataudi in Haryana’s Gurgaon district and is presently occupied by Saif's mother, actor Sharmila Tagore.
