As the Chhote Nawab turns 43, we bring you a collection of rarely seen pictures from the actor's early days in the industry

Born on August 16, 1970 in New Delhi, Saif was the ninth Nawab of Pataudi until the abolition of titles by India in 1971

Like his illustrious father, Tiger Pataudi, Saif attended Winchester College in UK

Saif married Amrita Singh in October 1991, before making his Bollywood debut

Saif and Amrita's daughter Sara Ali Khan was born in September 1993

The couple also have a son Ibrahim Ali Khan, who was born in March 2001. Pic/ Rane Ashish

Sadly, Saif and Amrita's marriage went kaput, and they divorced in 2004

Saif made his debut in multi-starrer 'Parampara' (1992), which tanked at the box-office in spite of being a Yash Chopra film

His first film as a solo hero 'Aashiq Awara' (1993) was also a major flop, but Saif did walk away with a Best Male Debut award for the same

Saif was heavily criticised for his lack of acting talent and his drab looks during his struggling days in the industry

Saif's first hit film was 'Yeh Dillagi' (1994), which also starred Akshay Kumar and Kajol

The seductive song 'Honton Pe Bas Tera Naam Hain' picturised on Saif and Kajol in 'Yeh Dillagi' was found to be rather bold for those days

Saif and Kajol also starred together in another dud 'Hamesha' (1997)

Saif and Akshay Kumar briefly flourished as a hit jodi in the 90s. Their successful movies together include 'Yeh Dillagi' (1994) and 'Main Khiladi Tu Anari' (1994). Their other films like 'Tu Chor Main Sipahi' (1996) and 'Keemat' (1998) did not do as well

'Imtihaan' (1995), which starred Raveena Tandon and Sunny Deol, was among Saif's many failures during his early years in the industry

Saif got a chance to act with 90s reigning queen Madhuri Dixit in the 1999 film 'Aarzoo'

Saif got a much-needed hit with 'Kya Kehna' (2000) although Preity Zinta stole the show. He then did 'Dil Chahta Hai' (2001), and never looked back…
