The Story in Brief
Saif Ali Khan’s sister Saba Pataudi says she nearly married a man from Kolkata when she was 19. In an interview on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi’s YouTube show, she said the match did not work out because she was not ready. Saba, now 50, never married and has built a career as a jewellery designer, tarot reader and spiritual healer. She is also chief custodian of the Royal Endowment Trust in Bhopal.
Born on May 1, 1976, Saba was introduced to potential husbands from the age of 18 but never found an ideal partner. She said she wanted someone exactly like her late father, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. She also agreed with actress Taapsee Pannu’s comment: ‘I don’t need a boy, I need a man.’ Her brother Saif Ali Khan is awaiting the release of the film 'Haiwaan' in September.
The Indian Opinion
The usual sympathy for a woman who ‘never married’ misses the point. Saba Pataudi has built a thriving profession and kept her independence. The lazy narrative assumes marriage is the only measure of a fulfilled life. Time to ask: why does Indian society still treat a single woman past 30 as incomplete rather than as someone who made a deliberate choice? Watch how many headlines pity her instead of respecting her path.
