It’s been a busy year for Soha Ali Khan, with successful ventures like ‘Mumbai Meri Jaan’ in her kitty, but the actor says she’d not have it any other way. ‘The first year was a disaster — in retrospect, I wasn’t focussing,’ she says, talking of the bad choices she made and how she is looking to rectify them. Her next venture, ‘Dil Kabbadi’, is set for a December 5 release and the actor sounds all gung-ho about it. The film is about the power equations in a marriage, but has been treated in a light-hearted way by director Anil Sharma. ‘My character, Mita, a cosmetic surgeon, is an introvert and very clinical, which lends a cold vibe to her relationship with her husband (Irrfan Khan).’ Soha is also excited about having had a chance to work with established actors like Konkana Sen Sharma, Rahul Khanna, Rahul Bose and Irrfan. ‘I’m a huge fan of Irrfan. I learnt from him not to fear looking foolish on screen.’
Known for her reservations about talking to the media, Soha lets on that it all depends on her mood. ‘I’m a bundle of contradictions — I’m a private person, like my dad (MAK Pataudi) and sister (Saba), but I do have occasional outbursts of loquaciousness, a trait I inherit from my mother and share with Saif, where I give away too much about myself.’ Likewise, comparisons with her mother Sharmila Tagore, too leave her unperturbed. ‘There’s an inherent sense of security I grew up with. Comparisons and rat race don’t bother me,’ she grins.
The coming year is poised to be an equally busy one for the actor. ‘There’s UTV’s ‘Dhoondte Reh Jaoge’, a commercial film with Vishesh Films, a horror movie and a Bengali film by Aparna Sen.’ With a mixed bag of commercial, comedy and regional films in her kitty, she feels her patience is paying off.
