I didnt know that!
BUt saif said in one of his interviews that his mum did convert.
Did anyone else know this?
And is it true that her muslim name is Ayesha? I heard that rumor somewhere as well. Anyone know more about it?

Yes she did and I think it was because Tiger was the Heir to the Pataudi Lineage and there were some rules etc to be followed for him to inherit the whole thing. So she had to convert to become his legal wife. They were both far ahead of their times so IMO it was just a formality.

She had to convert since the rules for getting property for Pataudi were very strict. I can't remember the details right now but he wasn't technically the first in line for the title. I think his aunt (her son's would have otherwise succeeded the previous Nawab) got married to someone in Pakistan and so lost her claim to the property/title. For similar (though not exact) reasons Sharmila too had to convert though she goes by her Hindu name. I might be messing the details up a bit - but that is sort of what happened.

Saif Ali Khan was born into a Muslim Pathan family of the Nawabs of Pataudi. His paternal grandfather, Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, was the Nawab of Pataudi as well as an accomplished cricketer who played for England and then for India as the captain of the team. His paternal grandmother was Sajida Sultan, Begum of Bhopal and his great-uncle was Pakistani general Nawabzada Sher Ali Khan Pataudi. His father is Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, the eighth Nawab of Pataudi and a former captain of the Indian cricket team. Khan has two sisters Saba Ali Khan and Soha Ali Khan. Khan's mother is Sharmila Tagore a Bengali Indian film actress and a member of Bengal's Tagore Family. She is also the head of the Indian film censorship board and a relative of the Nobel laureate - Rabindranath Tagore. Sharmila Tagore converted to Islam from Hinduism after her marriage to Khan's father, and changed her name to Begum Ayesha Sultana. Khan spent his childhood in a Muslim atmosphere, reading the Quran, with his grandmother being the center of his religious education. Khan says that "Religion played a major role in my upbringing."
