Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan could have coasted on one of the most glamorous pedigrees in India — son of Sharmila Tagore and cricket legend Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, and head of the Pataudi family since 2011. What I respect is that he didn't. The 2005 National Film Award and the 2010 Padma Shri reflect an actor who kept reinventing himself, sliding from urbane romantic leads into morally murky character work with visible relish. There is a Winchester-educated wit beneath his performances that gives even his lightest roles a knowing edge. To me, he is proof that legacy is only a starting point; the longevity has been entirely his own doing.
