Soha Ali Khan is not the woman you think you know. But she’s definitely a woman you need to know
Soha Ali Khan is the mildly successful and entirely unresentful daughter of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore, sister of Saif, and sister-in-law of Kareena. And an actor and individual in her own right.
The woman we encountered at Algebra, though, was all this – and defined by none of it.
She was just Soha Ali Khan. Candid and captivating. Incredibly funny and assured. Intelligent and engaging. Her own person, and a supremely attractive one at that.
Soha’s new book, The Perils of Being Moderately Famous, tells the backstory of a half-famous life in a sea of celebrity faces. But in conversation with Soha, we came to realise that only in the narrowest, most myopic sense of celebrity is Soha a lesser success than her famous family: in the real world, this woman armed with an Oxford degree, superb self-awareness and a wonderful sense of humour is winning at life in every way that counts.
