The marriage plans of chote nawab Saif Ali Khan and Indian diva Kareena Kapoor have been put on hold after the demise of the actor’s father – Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi. Apparently, Saif and Kareena were supposed to marry in mid-February 2012.
Talking to a daily, a source said, “The official mourning period of the family is six months, but the family won’t celebrate for the next one year. The plans were already put on hold and we were looking at a date later next year because we expected Nawabsaheb to get better. But tragedy has struck.” Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, one of the greatest cricket captains India has produced, died on Thursday after battling with a lung infection which was diagnosed about three months back.
He was suffering from interstitial lung disease (interstitial pneumonitis).
