Saif stole sisters' money, gifted it back for Raksha Bandhan
Saif Ali Khan, Soha Ali Khan, and Saba Pataudi are famous brothers and sisters from India.
They grew up in a big palace because their father was a prince called the Nawab of Pataudi.
Even though they lived in a palace, their father taught them to be careful with money.
He would leave yellow notes on the walls asking them to turn off the lights.
He said petrol was too expensive for them to visit friends' houses.
Saba said her brother Saif sometimes took money from her wallet.
Later, on Raksha Bandhan, a festival where sisters tie a special thread on their brothers' wrists, he gave her the same money back as a gift.
The sisters got 100 rupees as pocket money, and 5 pounds when they visited England.
Saif was studying in England, and he would borrow their money.
Soha also said their father had no job, so he watched every rupee he spent.
Soha Ali Khan and Saba Pataudi revealed on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi's YouTube show that they never received royal treatment as children.
Their father, Nawab of Pataudi Mansoor Ali Khan, left yellow Post-it notes asking them to turn off lights and refused trips to friends' homes because petrol was expensive.
Saba recalled that Saif Ali Khan sometimes stole money from her wallet and later gifted the same money back to her on Raksha Bandhan.
The sisters received Rs 100 as pocket money, while on visits to England they got 5 pounds, which Saif would borrow.
In an earlier chat with Hauterrfly, Soha said her father was a stay-at-home dad with no job or income and once limited her to one letter per week to her mother in the US because postage was costly.
