Kareena’s mum was more anxious when she was expecting as I am today when Soha is, says Sharmila Tagore!

Veteran actress Sharmila Tagore is still known for her grace and elegance. She has a very big reason to celebrate 2017 as her daughter and actress Soha Ali Khan is all set to welcome her first child with Kunal Kemmu. 

Sharmila became a daadi last year to son Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan's son Taimur Ali Khan and this year she will become a nani. On whether it will be different this time, Sharmila told, "I don’t think there’s any difference as such in the family, but yes, it is a bit, as it’s my daughter now, who is giving birth. Kareena’s mum was more anxious when she was expecting as I am today when Soha is. It’s the mother-daughter bond. I think it’s quite a big decision for women to have children. In our time, I don’t think we thought so much about it. We just went and had them and of course, life is not fun-filled and not complete if you don’t have them. It’s a wonderful thing when you think about it. I felt so much closer to my mother after I had babies. It bonds a mother and daughter more." 

As Soha will be welcoming her first child, when the daily questioned Sharmila Tagore if she remembers the time she was expecting Saif and the actress told, "I wasn’t there as much for Saif as I was for Soha and Saba as I wasn’t working so much then. I was very busy during Saif’s time and when he was growing up. I was doing double shifts, but I did have the support of my husband and also my neighbour Sunita Goswami, who also happened to be teaching at Saif’s Bohri-run school Saifee Mahal, which was a wonderful school run by Mrs Noorani. She was Saif’s second mother and she and her husband Jatin looked after him a lot. I was there for all his milestones, but I really wasn’t there for his day-to-day work."

She also discloses that Saif shared most of her personality traits. "I think Saif does, Soha is more like her dad Tiger and Saba is a mixture of both of us. Saif and I are a little bit more impulsive and less practical. He likes his freedom. As a child, he was more mischievous, Soha was more studious and practical, while Saba is the most creative one," reveals the actress.
