Actress Soha Ali Khan recently discussed about her family's royal ancestry and their historic house, Pataudi Palace. She revealed that her brother, Saif Ali Khan, saves money by using whitewash instead of paint. In an interview with Cyrus Broacha on the Housing.

com YouTube channel, Soha also stated that their mother, Sharmila Tagore, handles the household finances. Soha Ali Khan reveals Saif Ali Khan prefers whitewashing Pataudi Palace instead of painting; says, “It’s not painted because it’s a lot less expensive” When asked about managing the Pataudi Palace, she stated, “My mother sits with her hisaab-kitaab; she knows daily expenditure and monthly expenditure. For example, we whitewash Pataudi, it’s not painted because it’s a lot less expensive.

And we haven’t bought anything new for a long time. It’s the architecture of the place that’s most inviting; it’s not the things, it’s not the objects.” She added, “I was born after the privy purses and royal titles were abolished in 1970.

My brother was born a prince, because he was born in 1970...

With the titles comes a lot of responsibility and bills...

My grandmother was the begum of Bhopal and my grandfather was the nawab of Pataudi; he loved her for many years but was not allowed to marry her.” She also stated that her grandfather ran out of money during the palace's building, resulting in more carpets than marble in some areas. Soha is in charge of the generator room, which features two bedrooms.
