Kareena says Soha is ‘a solid woman’

Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan has praised her sister-in-law Soha Ali Khan.

Soha on Tuesday launched her first book, The Perils of Being Moderately Famous, in Mumbai. In a rare moment, the entire family, including Sharmila Tagore, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena, Saba Ali Khan and Soha’s husband Kunal Kemmu gathered on stage.

Kareena said of Soha: “I truly believe that she is torchbearer of the family and this book’s title doesn’t do justice to her being famous or not famous because I think she is the grounding on which all of us stand on, and I have truly seen the way she has compassionately and with just a breaking heart, looked after her father [the late Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi].”

“I have never ever seen any daughter like that. I am a daughter, but I don’t know if I could have done it the way she looked after him and that. In my eyes, she is a solid woman and I am sure abba is listening to this,” she added.

Sharing her personal relationship with Soha, Kareena said: “I rarely get intimidated by anyone, but if there is one person in the family that I am completely in awe of I think is Soha. When I am at dinner with Saif or Soha, I am like, ‘Oh my God, I am never going to understand their conversation.”

“Soha has always been so polite with me. She always asks me about what’s the gossip or what shopping I did recently, but apart from that, I think we have found our way and if there is anyone in the family that any of us turned to when amma [Tagore] is all worked up and fired up, then there is just one person that can control the situation and that is none other than Soha.”
