Soha doesn’t think her potential will ever be tapped
Actor Soha Ali Khan (left) says she is mostly offered films which are hard-hitting and realistic, and feels that filmmakers are yet to tap her potential. “I am offered more gritty and thinking roles but I do enjoy it. I like performance-oriented roles. I don’t have an agenda as far as acting is concerned. I want to do films that have good content,” says Soha. “I don’t think my potential will ever be tapped but that’s fine. I want to work with good directors. Also, I don’t know if I will get to do a negative role or a biopic,” she says. Soha insists that she has not consciously stayed away from commercial cinema. “When you do a certain kind of films, you are offered more those kind of films. I am offered more content driven films or that have a social message. Although, I have also done some entertaining films,” she says.
Soha enjoys watching commercial entertainers where one can shut their mind off and relax after a tough day. “Cinema is suppose to entertain you and not educate you,” she opines. Soha will be seen next in 31st October opposite Vir Das. The film is based on the aftermath that followed prime minister Indira Gandhi’s assassination.
