Soha Ali Khan Talks About Her Interfaith Marriage With Kunal Kemmu

BOLLYWOOD: Soha Ali Khan revealed that she has learned to ignore the criticism surrounding her marriage to Kunal Kemmu, which crosses religious lines.

Soha spoke about developing ignorance in response to the online trolling directed towards her family. She was quoted by Screen as saying, "I have gotten a bit thick-skinned; it doesn’t bother me. But one thing that amuses me is how, when I post something, people start commenting on my religion. Because I have married into a Hindu family, my mother has a Hindu surname, and she married a Muslim man. Usually, if we post something on Diwali, they ask how many rozas I have kept. If we post on Holi, the comments are asking what kind of Muslim I am. It doesn’t bother me, but it is something that I do notice."

Soha also spoke about how outdated expectations still persist, even in privileged families, and added, "Even today, in affluent, well-educated families, there is still an expectation that if you don’t have a son, you are somehow incomplete. I have a daughter, I’m very happy, and most people around me are very happy. But there is still a sense, somewhere, that I have disappointed somebody."

Soha returned to acting with Vishal Furia's horror film Chhorii 2. The film, which also stars Nushrratt Bharuccha and Gashmeer Mahajani in pivotal roles, is the sequel to the 2021 film Chhorii. Soha plays a negative role as 'Daasi Maa'. Upon release, the film received a mixed response from audiences.
