Saif was educated at Winchester College in England and started his film career with his debut in 1993 in Aashiq Awara. His most important role was probably in 1994 with Yeh Dillagi with Kajol and Akshay Kumar which was his first major hit. He then had success with moderate level hits like Main Khiladi Tu Anari (1994), Kachche Dhaage (1999) and Hum Saath-Saath Hain: We Stand United (1999).

The film 'Dil Chahta Hai' gave him the right wavelength to be identified as a talented actor and helped Saif as one of the industry's most bankable stars. He followed it up with memorable performances as a comic eligible bachelor in Kal Ho Naa Ho, a manipulative gangster in Ek Hasina Thi, and a light-hearted cartoonist in Hum Tum. His performance in Hum Tum won him the National Film Award for Best Actor. These commercial successes were followed by a critically acclaimed performance in Parineeta and Salaam Namaste, both of which were also hits in India and overseas. In 2006 Khan played the lead role in the offbeat English-language film Being Cyrus and bagged enormous acclaim for his villanious role in the recently released 'Othello' adaptation Omkara.
