Soha Ali Khan

“I really love playing badminton and doing crosswords.”

“I am allergic to metals, so, I am minimal on accessories. Also, I don't wear watches.”

“Being a parent, is without any doubt, one of the most difficult things that you can do in life.”

“Ma is my biggest critic. When she cleans my cupboard she keeps nagging me as to why I have 20 shoes or why my accessories don't match my dresses. I just keep hiding things from her. There are times when I wonder why she can't praise me like other mommies. But, in a way she is right and I like it when she corrects me.”

“The idea is to resist being typecast. I like doing different things.”

“I don't believe in doing 20 films a years and being on number one, number five or anything that kind.”

“While I do think that good health, skin and hair has a lot to do with genetics, so I do have my parents to thank for it, but I do make it a point to drink lots and lots of water.”

“Of course when you lose your parent, it's like one chapter in your book of life ends. It's difficult but it's a part of life and you have to accept it.”

“I've watched all my brother's films. But initially, I was sort of away from the whole Bollywood thing. But I've always supported bhai in whatever he did.”

“I am not a responsible person.”

“I don't know why I chose to make my debut with 'Dil Maange More.' The film had three leading ladies - Tulip Joshi, Ayesha Takia and me - opposite Shahid Kapoor. I was fresh to Bollywood at that time because I had just come back from England and had no clue about hero-heroine dynamics in India.”

“Children always tend to imitate everything that we are doing in front of them.”

“We are a family that likes to keep things abreast about what's happening in the country so dinner table conversations revolve around Social, political, films... a bit of everything. Films we talk about the least in fact.”

“When you become a mother, you respect your mother so much more.”

“You grow as a person with every new experience.”

“My association with Cocoon Fertility is beyond just offering hope through assisted fertility. I am asking women to come forward and take charge of their reproductive privilege.”

“It may sound funny to others, but there is a sense of freedom when I am able to live on my own, and as per my own set standards.”

“I don't think anything changes after marriage. Things change in a big way after becoming a mother.”

“It's a misnomer to say that actresses are not smart; they're deeply in touch with their emotions.”

“It was very important for me to work in an office environment because I wanted the knowledge and experience of working in a team. That would help me as a human being. But I have always wanted to do films. It was instinctive.”
