That’s how Soha Ali Khan justifies her going bold for a magazine cover and also stresses why she doesn’t want to be typecast, in a chat with Chhaya Toshniwal
The youngest child in Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi’s family, today all of 29, says she showed signs of making it as an actor even as a kid. Soha Ali Khan reveals, “I acted in school and college plays.”
Interestingly, Soha has many releases to look forward to-Mumbai Meri Jaan (plays a TV reporter). Dil Kabaddi (film deals with marriage and sex), Mumbai Cutting ( Soha acts in one of the 10 short films), Tera Kya Hoga Johnny (also stars Neil Nitin Mukesh) and Dhoondhte Reh Jaoge (starring Kunal Khemu).
That apart, Soha has been recognised for her work in Bengali cinema (Iti Srikanta and Antar Mahal). She says, “There are not many interesting roles for women in Bollywood because it’s a hero-driven world out here. But Bengali cinema has well-etched female characters. I have an affinity towards them. I feel Bengal is home.”
