Kareena feels ‘small and lame’ in front of Soha Ali Khan
Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan is all praise for her sister-in-law Soha Ali Khan, saying that she is the family’s torchbearer and someone they all turn to for advice.
Lauding Soha’s knowledge, Kareena said that she is always nervous while listening to the conversations between husband Saif Ali Khan and Soha as she struggles to understand what they are talking about.
Kareena also said that she finds herself in a similar position as that of Soha’s husband Kunal Kemmu, who said he couldn’t get some of the English words Soha uses while they are talking. “I have rarely been intimidated by anyone, and the media knows [about it]. But if there’s one person in the family [of whom] I am completely in awe of, it is Soha. I’m always a little nervous when I am having dinner with Saif and Soha, I’m like ‘Oh my God, I am never going to understand this conversation’,” Kareena said and added, “If Kunal can’t, there’s no way I can! Soha has always been so polite, like ‘Hi, what’s up, did you buy anything, so what’s the gossip?’ I’m like, ‘Oh God, I feel so small and lame! But it’s okay. I think that we have found our way.”
“If there’s anyone in the family who we all can turn to, when Amma (Sharmila) is all worked up, if there’s one person that can control the situation, that’s Soha. I truly believe that she is the torchbearer of the family and this title doesn’t do justice (to her) because famous or no famous, she is the grounding on which all of us stand,” she said. The Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) actor also recalled how Soha took care of her father’s in his last days with compassion and breaking heart”.
“I’ve never seen any other daughter — I am a daughter myself — could’ve done the way she looked after him. And that to me, is a solid woman. So here’s to you Soha. I’m sure Abba is listening to all of this,” Kareena added.
