Soha Ali Khan realises post engagement: I'm traditionalist, romantic

August 4, 2014

soha ali khanMumbai, Aug 4: Soha Ali Khan is one happy woman after her engagement to her long-time beau Kunal Khemu. She's in fact disappointed to realise that she's "quite a traditionalist" as she always thought a "social sanction" to her relationship was not needed.

In an interview, Soha has opened up about love, engagement and marriage plans.

Excerpts:

Q. So you are formally and finally engaged to Kunal Khemu?

A. Yes. Neither of us is used to all this. My mother (Sharmila Tagore) is right when she says a formal engagement is not for the couple, but for others. As far as Kunal and I are concerned we're very happily committed to one another. The announcement is for others to be assured that we are committed to one another. We've been together for five years. Now we've made a public commitment, and there was an implicit promise that I made to Kunal when he proposed to me.

Q. What was that promise?

A. He did ask me if I'd marry him. But I was so excited on seeing the beautiful ring, I went around showing it to the five friends who were with us in Paris. I forgot to reply to his marriage proposal. I still haven't actually answered. Kunal has been joking about it.

Q. So are you happy with the formal announcement?

A. I don't know why, but I am very happy. Maybe the ring on my finger has something to do with it. We all have all these notions about ourselves. I though I didn't want any formal sanction to my relationship with Kunal. I am quite disappointed to know I am quite a traditionalist and a romantic. I always thought of myself as a practical woman who doesn't care for social sanctions. But here I am enjoying my engagement.

Q. You seem very happy?

A. When Kunal gave me the ring I was quite giggly and happy. Kunal went to great lengths to keep his proposal in Paris a secret from me. As you know, we live together and spend a lot of time together. And we're such good friends. We talk to one another about everything, even the smallest of decisions. That he had to take such a big decision on his own, must have been quite a task for him. And he has chosen the ring so well. I am really impressed by his taste.

Q. His good taste is already confirmed by your presence in his life?

A. That's true! I am glad his good taste extends to jewellery. It had to be the perfect ring because I have to wear it on my finger all the time. I don't wear any jewellery at all. I've always found jewellery to be an encumbrance. But now I am very happy to carry the ring around on my finger for the rest of my life. With some adjustments.

Q. What adjustments?

A. I've to grow my nails. My fingers are too short. My brother Saif suggested that I get a manicure so that the ring doesn't look like it's in the finger of a 12-year-old girl.

Q. Are you two getting married?

A. We don't have an answer to that. We need to take a serious decision. Of course my mother has now already started planning our venue and menu for the wedding. She is A wonderful events planner. She had been planning my marriage for a long time. Now that there's a name for the groom on the invitation card, she's all set. Now we need to think about what kind of a wedding, when, etc.

Kunal is a little disturbed because he thought he had bought himself four years of time with the engagement ring.

Q. Four years??

A. Maybe we will surprise ourselves by going into the next level of social sanction faster than we had planned. Kunal has a lot of integrity, fervor and ambitions. What I love the most about him is his consistency. In five years, he has never wavered in his thoughts and beliefs.

Q. You always said marriage was unimportant in your relationship with Kunal?

A. I always felt the only reason to get married is to have children. We've been very lucky to have very supportive parents. My mother is a very liberal wife and mother.

Q. Do you like the thought of having children?

A. I like other people's children!

Great blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything.

Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out
there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions?
Cheers!

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the
structure of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to
say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of
content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better?

An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment. I
think that you need to write more on this issue, it may not be a
taboo subject but typically people do not talk about these topics.
To the next! All the best!!

Hi, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog site in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!

New Delhi, April 5: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Sunday in a written message urged people to stay kind to each other and support each other in the testing times amid coronavirus crisis.
The message was shared by the actor's production company - Red Chillies Entertainment.

"At a time when the human race is facing an immense crisis, there can only be one true response: The expression of Humanity itself. This is a moment for all of us to come together in a collective effort to make each other kinder, stronger and braver to face the days ahead," said Khan.

The message from the megastar can be seen as an attempt to instill positivity and calm amidst the current situation of chaos.

"This crisis is not going to pass in a hurry, it will take its time and its toll on all of us. It will also show us that there isn't really a choice between looking out for ourselves and looking out for one another," he said.

"There's nothing more obvious in the spread of this pandemic than the fact that each one of us is inextricably connected to each other, without any distinction," he added.

He urged people to stay compassionate towards each other and also said that how we deal with this pandemic will define India as a Nation.

"So, while we do whatever we can to support each other in our own small ways, the compassion we show to those who are likely to face the most brutal brunt of both, the pandemic and its economic consequences will define us as a generation and as a Nation," the 'Kal Ho Na Ho' actor said.

"The scourge we are up against. is fearsome and unknown to us. Like all uncharted paths, our journey to overcome every new challenge it throws at us will be arduous. There will be times when the best intentions might yield the wrong results. There may also be times when we accidentally stumble upon important solutions," he added.

The 54-year-old actor urged people to confront each challenge with courage and said that he will do his best it.

"All we can really do is try our utmost to adapt and confront each challenge with courage. As a nation, and as a people, it is our duty to give it all we've got. I am going to try my best and I know each one of you will do so too. Only together we will able to fight through these difficult and unimaginable days. Together. we will overcome," he said.

He also added short poetry which said that a bright day follows this dark night and new beginnings of the day are awaiting.

"Raat ke baad naye diin ki sahar aayegi, Din nahi badlega, tareekh Badal jayegi..." read the message.

King Khan ended the message by urging people to ta maintain a physical distance with others.
"I pray for you and your families, please do the same for me. And follow Physical Distancing..........Physical Distancing.. Physical Distancing...PLEASE," said Shah Rukh Khan.
Earlier on Saturday, the Padma Shri awardee along with his wife Gauri Khan offered their personal office space in Mumbai for quarantine purpose for children, elderly and women.
The couple has also made donations to the PM CARES Fund and shared that his companies -- Kolkata Knight Riders, Red Chillies Entertainment, Meer Foundation, and Red Chillies VFX -- are taking several initiatives to support the relief efforts.
