Even though Saif Ali Khan is frantically trying to uplift the sagging Box Office fortunes of his kid sister Soha Ali Khan\u2019s beau Kunal Khemu by producing a film for him, mother Sharmila Tagore is completely oblivious of her darling daughter\u2019s love life! \nApparently, Sharmila didn\u2019t even know about Soha\u2019s relationship status until the latter spoke to her.
\nTalking to a daily on how she disclosed her love life to Sharmila, Soha said, \u201cActually, amma didn\u2019t really know who Kunal Khemu was! She hadn\u2019t seen his work or his films. But she had once come to the sets of \u201899\u2019 (in which Soha starred with Kunal). At that time, we were shooting a scene where Kunal was only in a pink-coloured bath robe. So, when I told her about me and Kunal, she asked \u2018Who is Kunal Khemu?\u2019 Then I explained, \u2018Amma, remember the guy in that pink bath robe that day? It\u2019s him\u2019. She said, \u2018Umm… okay! Strange choice!\u2019\u201d
\n\u201cSo she didn\u2019t really know him, but she\u2019s got to know him and his work now, over the past one-and-a-half years, and the two get along really well now,\u201d chipped in the actress.
\nWhen enquired her father\u2019s reaction to her dating Kunal, Soha added, \u201cOh no no. He knows that I am a grown up and feels that it\u2019s me who has to live with the person I marry, so as long as I am happy, he\u2019s fine. Dad\u2019s very supportive and loving, but he doesn\u2019t really get involved in my personal life beyond a point. You know, you expect your mom to be the bridge between you and your dad. In college days, I remember, dad would talk to me about `How are money matters? Whether I was okay with the money I have or I want more? And also whether my studies are going well? With mom I used to discuss more personal matters.\u201d
\nTalking of private life, both Soha and Saif have been honest about their relationships. \u201cNo, it\u2019s just that we feel there\u2019s nothing secretive about being in a relationship with someone. Even our parents were very open and vocal about their relationship. That too in an era when a Hindu and a Muslim being together was such a taboo. So I guess, we\u2019ve learnt it from them,\u201d finally said the actress before signing off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
