During his service in France, Ali Reza married a French-Polish descent widow named Christiane Cholesky (or Chouleski).

Displeased with his brothers' passive stance towards the events in Mohammad Mossadegh's government, Ali Reza founded the "Shah's Fedayeen".

Unlike his brothers, he actively supported the Shah's regime and was ready to take effective action against Mossadegh's government.

He played a key role in organizing the events of 28 February 1953, by calling for and mobilizing thugs such as Tayeb Haj Rezai, Hossein Esmaeili Pour (Ramazan Yekie), and Shaban Jafari.

[3] On 21 November 1953, Ali Reza Pahlavi was appointed as the head of the Army Sports Association.
