The
Palace
Has
Been
Designed
In
The
Colonial
Style
Of
Architecture
The
palace
exterior
is
a
grand
white
structure
surrounded
by
acres
of
lush
green
gardens.
Saif
and
his
wife
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan,
are
known
to
holiday
at
the
Palace
with
their
son
Tamiur
Ali
Khan
whenever
they
get
an
opportunity.
Not
just
the
three
of
them,
but
the
extended
family,
has
also
gotten
together
at
the
Palace
to
ring
in
special
occasions.
Interiors
Are
Luxurious
Yet
Subtle
The
interiors
boast
of
long
hallways,
colonial
designs
and
furnishings,
and
décor
that
is
luxurious
yet
subtle.
Saif
had
to
earn
back
the
Palace
after
it
was
rented
to
a
hotel
chain.
He
refurbished
his
family
home
after
his
father,
Mansoor
passed
away.
The
Palace
Has
150
Rooms!
There
are
150
rooms,
seven
bedrooms,
seven
dressing
rooms,
seven
billiard
rooms,
as
well
as
a
few
drawing
rooms
and
dining
rooms
to
comfortably
host
a
number
of
people.
The
Palace
is
spread
over
10
acres
of
land.
It
Was
Built
In
The
Early
1900s
The
Palace
was
designed
by
Robert
Tor
Russell,
assisted
by
Austrian
architect
Karl
Molt
von
Heinz,
in
the
early
1900s,
in
the
style
of
Imperial
Delhi's
colonial
mansions.
When
Saif
bought
the
Palace
back,
he
got
it
refurbished
by
interior
designer
Darshini
Shah.
When
Saif
Had
To
Earn
It
Back
Talking
about
how
he
earned
the
Palace
back,
Saif
had
once
told
Mid-Day,
"People
have
a
certain
fixed
notion.
For
that
matter,
even
Pataudi
(palace),
when
my
father
died,
it
got
rented
to
Neemrana
Hotels.
Aman
(Nath)
and
Francis
(Wacziarg)
used
to
run
(the
hotel).
Francis
passed
away.
He'd
said
that
if
I
wanted
(the
palace)
back,
I
could
let
him
know.
I
said:
‘I
want
it
back'.
They
held
a
conference,
and
said,
‘okay,
you
have
to
give
us
lots
of
money!' Which
I
then
consequently
earned."
'There
Has
Been
No
Inheritance'
"So,
even
the
house
I'm
supposed
to
have
inherited
has
been
earned
back
through
money
from
films.
You
can't
live
off
the
past.
At
least
we
can't
in
our
family,
because
there
was
nothing.
There
is
history,
culture,
beautiful
photographs;
and,
of
course,
some
land.
It
has
been
a
privileged
upbringing.
But
there's
been
no
inheritance," he
added.
