Gurugram: The majestic Pataudi Palace in Gurugram has once again become the centre of attention following the attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan. Known for its royal history, the palace has been a symbol of the Pataudi family's heritage, and it continues to be a beloved place for Saif, the 10th Nawab of Pataudi. The actor, who was attacked late on Wednesday night, is now recovering after surgery, but the news has left both his fans and neighbours deeply concerned.
