Bollywood actress and now mother Soha Ali Khan reveals her
struggle has been with her profession as an actor.
At the launch of her first book "The Perils of Being
Moderately Famous" here on Tuesday, Soha was questioned about the toughest
chapter to write.
She revealed, "The toughest chapter to write was
probably the one called 'Working Actor'. The other chapters sort of fell
together in place, but really, my struggle has been with my profession as an
actor, which is such an important part of my life. The insecurities coming
along with it, comparisons that are made which are very difficult to live up to
and I feel there is a very big shoe to fill. I also feel that striking the
right tone with readers about my failures, insecurities and the learning step
that come across, but at the same time, not being too hard on myself, was most
difficult thing for me."
Asked what prompted her to write a book, Soha disclosed,
"Earlier, I have written a couple of columns and essays, but to write
40,000-50,000 words is a huge task. I wanted to write non-fiction because I
don't have the imagination for creative fiction. I felt certain things about my
life that I could draw from and that might be humorous. It is interesting to be
me who belongs to this family of actors and the kind of experiences I had about
education, travel and love. So, I did share that with some of my family members
and friends. My family and friends are not the kind of people who blindly
praise me. There was a lot of constructive feedback and it was more or less
encouraging that's how I wrote this book".
Soha, in her book, didn't hesitate to disclose some unknown
facts about her life.
"At the moment, project Inaaya (daughter) is taking all
my time and after that, I will be doing 'Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3 '
next.", ended conversation.
