In a recent interview, Soha Ali Khan opened up about her relationship with her brother, Saif Ali Khan, and revealed that he was a rebel while growing up.
Soha Ali Khan is the youngest daughter of veteran actress, Sharmila Tagore and the late cricketer, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. She was just 25 years old when she left the Pataudi Palace and shifted to Mumbai to pursue acting. In her personal life, Soha got married to the man of her dreams, Kunal Kemmu, in 2015. After two years of marital bliss, the duo hopped onto the parenting journey with the arrival of their baby girl, Inaaya Naumi Kemmu, in 2017. Soha has two siblings, a sister, Saba Ali Khan, and a brother, Saif Ali Khan,
In a candid conversation with Curly Tales, Soha Ali Khan opened up about her relationship with her brother, Saif Ali Khan. She shared that while Saif was a bit of a rebel in his growing years, she, being the younger one, was a bit more obedient. The loving sister mentioned that Saif did everything he could do to scandalise their parents and broke every rule. Soha said:
“My brother was a rebel, he did everything he could do to scandalise our parents. He broke every rule in the book, they had to invent a new rulebook. There’s nine years between us. My mother told me when I bunked an economics class, ‘If this is the start of some kind of rebellion, then forget about it, because we’ve seen it all’. So, I just gave up all that. It was impossible to walk in his shoes.”

Soha Ali Khan also highlighted the great qualities that her brother, Saif Ali Khan, possesses and said that the latter has never been like a typical older brother. Mentioning that he has always been there for her, appreciated and supported her, the actress said that they share a refreshing relationship. However, Soha recalled how once Saif got into the big brother mode after she introduced him to a boy in the past as he had started interrogating the guy. She added:
“My brother is quite unique. He’s never been a traditional older brother. He has been there, he’s looked after me, he’s been appreciative of me. In that way, it’s been quite a refreshing relationship, even though we’re so many years apart. He’s lived a colourful life, and he’s not conservative, but when it comes to your younger sister, it brings up certain feudal instincts in you. And I’ve seen him grapple with that in the past, when I’ve introduced him to a boy and he’s felt the need to play an older brother and interrogate him.”
When Soha Ali Khan was asked about Saif Ali Khan’s first meeting with her then-boyfriend, Kunal Kemmu, she shared an interesting anecdote. The actress remembered how her brother reacted upon meeting Kunal and shared that Saif really liked him. She further mentioned Saif was touching Kunal’s biceps and asking him about the gym where he works out. She said:
“He was quite taken by Kunal. I remember calling him home, and we were playing pool. It’s one thing to appreciate from a distance, but he was just touching Kunal’s biceps and asking him where he works out. He thought that Kunal was a nice specimen of a human being, and what most people appreciate about Kunal is that he doesn’t pretend to be anything that he’s not."

Soha further heaped praises on her husband, Kunal, and lauded him for never being pretentious. Elaborating on the same, the actress mentioned that while some people might feel intimidated in their first meeting with Saif Ali Khan or Sharmila Tagore, Kunal never felt the need to portray himself as someone he is not. Soha added:
"Some people might feel intimidated in their first meeting with Saif Ali Khan or Sharmila Tagore, or feel the need to amp it up a bit, and Kunal has never felt the need to do that for anyone. That kind of sincerity and integrity certainly struck a chord with me, and people responded well to that.”
