Official Name

His Exalted Highness Rustam-i-Dauran, Arustu-i-Zaman, Wal Mamaluk, Asaf Jah VIII, Muzaffar ul-Mamaluk, Nizam ul-Mulk, Nizam ud-Daula, Nawab Mir Barakat 'Ali Khan Bahadur, Sipah Salar, Fath Jang, Nizam of Hyderabad and Berar, Honorable Lieutenant-General, Faithful Ally of the British Government,

Early life

Jah is the son of Azam Jah and Durru Shehvar and the grandson of Osman Ali Khan, the last reigning Nizam of Hyderabad state, and also the grandson of the last Ottoman Caliph, ‘Abdu’l-Mijid II.

After his education for a short period at The Doon School and then in England at Harrow School, Cambridge, the London School of Economics and Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, Jah left behind his Hyderabad palace for a 2,000 km² sheep station in the Australian outback and divorced his first wife, the sophisticated Turkish princess Esra, who saw no reason why she should move to a remote Australian sheep station. Over the following two decades he married four more times. One of his wives, a secretary named Helen Simmons, died of an Aids-related illness in 1989, which led to intimate details of the marriage being splashed across Australian tabloids. All five of the marriages added to Jah's growing pile of litigation, as each successive wife demanded fabulous sums in alimony. He has subsequently sold the farm and fled from his creditors. He lives now in Istanbul, Turkey suffering from diabetes.
