Soha says Kareena has prioritised her personal and professional life really well
Mumbai:
Actress Soha Ali Khan says hersister-in-law Kareena Kapoor has set her priorities right onpersonal and professional front.
"We are very much ourselves and what I love about heris in spite of being a huge star, she is a very down to earthperson. Physically also she is without make up, chilled outand naturally very beautiful as a person. I know how difficultit is to be an actor and work and then have to look after yourpersonal life," Soha told PTI.
"I respect the fact that she is clear in herpriorities about work and my brother. So I have lot of respectfor her as a person and we get along very well... She likes mebecause I am like my brother," she said.
Soha feels Kareena and Saif are good influence on eachother. She and Kareena don't live together, but whenever theymeet they do not talk much about films and work.
"If you sit with four actors you will realise no actoris interested in another actor's work. They will immediatelyswitch off. We are more interested in talking about what ishappening off set, we indulge in gossip all the time but I amnot telling you (who all we gossip about)," she said.
On the work front, Soha seems quite excited about herupcoming film War Chhod Naa Yaar, being promoted as India'sfirst war comedy film, where she is playing the role of a warcorrespondent.
"This particular representation at border is unique. Ialways wanted to go to the border and I was looking to get anopportunity to go to Kargil. Sharman Joshi and I went to WagahBorder when we were shooting for Rang De Basanti. I alwayshad this imagination of going there after seeing Border,LOC and to know as to what happens there," she said."I am doing live reporting in the film for some timeand interacting with Army officers. She is like a normal girland has a normal romantic healthy interest. She meets SharmanJoshi, who is a good looking Army officer," Soha said.
War Chhod Na Yaar is directed by Faraz Haider, whoassisted Dibakar Banerjee on Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!. The filmalso stars Sharman Joshi, Jaaved Jaffrey, Dalip Tahil andMukul Dev. It releases on October 11.
Asked if there was any sibling rivalry duringchildhood with Saif or her sister Saba, Soha said, "I did nothave fights with Bhai (Saif) but with my sister Saba, becausethere is a ten-year gap between Saif and me, while me and myelder sister have a gap of two-and-half years or so."
"My sister and I shared a room and we had actuallymade a border, if anyone crossed it, it was like infiltratingin the area. We had horrible fights as children," she said.
Though Soha is the youngest in the family, she thinksshe was not pampered as much as Saif was."I don't think I was pampered, my sister feels I was.My brother was pampered because of the mother-son relation.Bhai was allowed to get away with everything, while my motherwas strict with us," she said.
"But none of us were spoilt. We came from a positionbut we were asked to follow basic things like switching offlights, not to talk on phone much often and we were given anallowance," Soha added.
