Soha Ali Khan, 34, gets her looks from her mother and nature from her father. Born to a family of super achievers, she has never felt the pressure to compete with them. With her Oxford and London School of Economics education, she is easily considered the most qualified member in her family. Ahead of her upcoming film Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns, she opens up to Bombay Times about the strong bond between her mother and her brother, the similarities in her nature with her abba and her plans to settle down with Kunal Kemmu. Excerpts:

You are the youngest in your family. Were you pampered? I felt it more later in life, than when I was young, that I am the favourite of both my parents. I would not drink my milk and I was quite theatrical and would pick up some kind of an instrument and say ‘why don’t you kill me’ and my mother would say ‘I am just asking you to have your milk’. My father never raised his voice with us or with even my mom, who can drive anyone up the wall. She is Bengali, has fire in her blood, is hyper and impatient. She was a heroine of Hindi cinema and so there was nothing as one slap. We would get eight in a row. Bhai (Saif) was the naughty one and knew how to duck, so she would hold him by his hair. My sister and I were angels in comparison. My mother would, in fact, tell us, ‘you are so good, we were not as good when we were your age’. I almost felt it was a complaint and we should have been naughtier. More >
