Soha Ali Khan on being trolled for her interfaith marriage
Soha spoke about developing a thick skin in response to the online scrutiny 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, there are comments 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Soha also spoke about how outdated expectations still persist, even in privileged families, and added, "Even today, in affluent, well-educated families, there is still an expectation that if you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 and Kunal first met on the sets of Dhoondte Reh Jaoge and began dating in 2009. The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2015 after six years of being together. They welcomed their daughter, Inaaya Naumi Kemmu, in 2017. The couple is often seen sharing adorable photos together on social media.
