Jewellery designer Saba Ali Khan reveals why she never married
Saba Ali Khan is a jewellery designer who is part of a famous Bollywood family.
She is the sister of actors Saif Ali Khan and Soha Ali Khan, and the daughter of actress Sharmila Tagore and former cricket captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi.
She usually stays away from the spotlight.
Recently, she talked about her personal life in a vlog hosted by actor Neha Dhupia and her husband Angad Bedi.
Saba said she never had a boyfriend.
She explained that people introduced her to many possible marriage partners starting when she was 18 or 19 years old.
At 19, she almost married someone in Kolkata, but that did not happen because she was not really ready.
She said she stayed open to marriage but never found someone truly compatible.
She described her father as charismatic, humble, responsible, and someone who taught her to be independent.
In the end, she never married any of the people she was introduced to.
