Hero's Sister wants to do masala films, Soha Ali Khan wants to do Masala Films, Saif sister Soha Wants to do Masala Films


Soha Ali Khan(Saif Ali Khan's sister) wants to do more masala films in Bollywood but says she does not want to be a part of the rat race. The actress says she is happy in her own space and does not want to rush through life.

"It all depends on the rat race. Unfortunately or fortunately everything has become about money. But I am not interested in making money, being a star or being famous. I am interested in working. I would rather not be popular and do good work. I love acting. Being an actor I can be part of both the worlds. I would love to do more masala movies," said Soha.

Soha, however, is looking forward to expand her portfolio with all kinds of role. She is also doing her first comedy Chemistry with Shreyas Talpade.

"It is my first comedy. It is mad, there is no social message at all which is great fun too. I think it is difficult to do comedy because no one can help you. But it is liberating also," she says.

The petite star shared the screen space with her mother Sharmila Tagore for the first time in 'Life Goes On', a modern adaptation of Shakespeare's King Lear. The film, in English, was released in India last Friday.

"I was keen to share some filmography with my mother. It was fun to work with my mother. She is such a great performer," she says.

The only problem was that it was hard to see her mother die onscreen.

"It did not affect me that much while we were shooting for the film but I could not stop crying after I saw it onscreen. I also remember that there was a scene where we are mourning her loss and I kept calling my mother, who was in Cannes having dinner with Brat Pitt and Angelina Jolie," she says with a laugh.

Soha Ali's Scary experience with Ammi, Working with ammi was bit scary: Soha Ali Khan


Facing the camera with her mom was not an easy task for Soha Ali Khan who was "nervous" while shooting with Sharmila Tagore for the film "Life Goes On". This is the first time the duo will be seen together on screen.

"I didn't forget my lines or anything, but I was nervous because she has a very good aesthetic sense," Soha told IANS in an interview here.
"When in a good mood, she is amazing. But when in a bad mood, it's like the worst thing ever. But she was very good and restrained during shooting and also suggested to me to follow director Sangeeta Datta's instruction carefully," added the 32-year-old actor who was here for an event.

"Life Goes On" opens Friday and it is an emotional drama about generational conflict set in contemporary London.

Asked about her expectations, she said: "I have no expectation and I have learnt not to expect anything from films. Yes, it was great working for the movie. I got a chance to work with ammi (Sharmila). It's quite an emotional movie where the journey of the loss of a mother and family is portrayed in a sensitive way," she said.

Banker-turned-actress Soha made her debut with Anant Mahadevan's 2004 film "Dil Maange More" and featured next year in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's "Rang De Basanti".

For Soha, getting into showbiz was not an initial career choice, but thanks to her actor brother Saif and her mother, it soon became her profession too. Despite coming from an illustrious film family, she is still struggling for her share of limelight in tinseltown.

After the debacle of "Tum Mile", Soha is hoping for a better future in Bollywood.

"I was offered a variety of roles, which range from practical to interesting to downright outrageous, but things didn't work out well. This year you will see me in a variety of roles," said Soha.

Her first release will be "Chemistry" with Shreyas Talpade. Co-produced by Shreyas, the love story revolves around two people dumped by their respective partners and their lives afterwards.

"It's a mad role and you will see me in pink hair in it. My character is between Charlie Chaplin and Devanand Sagar. The character was a bit out of my normal acting range as I do more intense films. There is a lot of improvisation and laughs," she said.

"I am also doing a film called 'Sound track' which is opposite Rajiv Khandelwal. It is an official remake of Hollywood comedy 'It's All Gone Pete Tong '. Rajiv plays DJ and I play a girl who is born deaf. I find the role very interesting. It was difficult to get into that mode because I can't imagine life without sound and you can't work it out either. So I kept on forgetting the fact that I am playing a deaf girl," said Soha.

Talking about her personal life, Soha, who is dating Kunal Khemu, said she is ready to settle down in a couple of years.

"I am in comfortable space and we (Kunal and Soha) are happy with our career graphs; so whenever the right time comes, we will announce our marriage," she said.

What about Saif who said he'll get married before her as he's the elder brother?

"That's not necessary. I don't have to wait for anyone because I don't want to. If he takes 10 years then I will never wait. I don't know how long he will take, he might tie the knot tomorrow!" she said.
