Soha Ali Khan reveals how her ancestral home is haunted

When asked if she had ever worked on a set rumoured to be haunted, Soha recalled how her great-aunt was allegedly slapped by a ghost while living in Peeli Kothi. She said, "I don’t know about sets, but there’s our house in Pataudi.” She explained, “There is a palace next to Pataudi Palace called Peeli Kothi. Our family used to live there, and overnight everyone packed up and moved out to where Pataudi Palace is now. The reason cited for the sudden shift was a supernatural one. I don’t know how true that is because, obviously, I wasn’t present then. But apparently, my great-aunt was slapped by a ghost, and the mark was visible on her face.”

Soha added, “My point is, whether it happened or not, that is prime real estate — but it is still empty. Ek khandar jaisa hai (it’s like a ruin). There must be a reason why people are not occupying that place.”
