Mahbub Ali Khan was born on August 17, 1866. He was the only son of Nawab Afzal-ud-Daula. When his father died he was two years and seven months old, and thus became the Sixth Nizam of the Asaf Jahi dynasty in 1869. He was installed as Nizam by Mir Turab Ali Khan, Salar Jung I the Great, Nawab Rasheeduddin Khan, Shar-ul-Ummul and the Resident, who functioned as the Reyab. Shar-ul-Ummul died on December 12, 1881 and Salar Jung become the sole regent.
Special attention was paid to the education of Mahboob Ali Khan who was tutored by the English. With the concurrence of Salar Jung, Capt. John Clerk was appointed as his tutor. He was a respected and dignified personality and was popularly know as Mahboob Ali Pasha. He was retained as administrator and regent until his death on Tuesday, August 31, 1911.
Mahbub Ali Khan was well known for lavish lifestyle and luxuries, and had an enormous fascination for clothes and cars. His collection of garments was one of the most extensive in the world at the time, with sherwanis, shirts, coats, collars, socks, shoes, headgear, walking sticks, perfumes - not one each, but dozens of almost each item. He devoted a whole wing of his palace to his wardrobe and would never wear the same dress twice.
He bought the Jacob Diamond, and stands out among Jewels of The Nizams now owned by the Indian Govt..
