Jah was the eldest son of Azam Jah and Dürrüşehvar Sultan and was named successor to the title of Nizam of Hyderabad by Mir Osman Ali Khan his grandfather. He became the titular Nizam after his grandfather's death in 1967. Following 26th Amendment to the Indian constitution in 1971, the Indian government cut off the Nizam’s allowance and abolished the royal court’s title. In 1972, he traveled to Australia to visit a friend from Harrow and Cambridge, George Hobday. He loved the environment and settled there becoming a sheep farmer. In 1996 he sold the farm and moved to Turkey where stayed until his death. He was married five times and had a total of 6 children.
