I want Emraan to kiss me
She might have essayed serious characters in most of her films, but off screen Soha Ali Khan is a bundle of joy. Promptly responding to my SMS, Soha was in a joyful mood as she talked on the phone about her forthcoming comedy Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge. Insisting that unlike her image, she has terrific sense of humour this is what she had to say.
Q. Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge has a lot of spoofs. Are you personally okay with the idea of take offs - some people like Ashutosh Gowariker are touchy about it.
Soha: Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge has a lot of spoofs. Are you personally okay with the idea of take offs - some people like Ashutosh Gowariker are touchy about it.
Q. It's your first tryst with comedy. Do you have a funny bone in real life?
Soha: Oh I am good at comedy. All my friends think I have a great sense of humour. And even when I am interacting with someone the first thing I look for is humour. Now I don't want to speak for myself because if go about calling myself funny, people will think it's all blah!
Q. But did this love for humour translate on screen as well?
Soha: See comedy is all about reacting. And when you have co-stars like Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever and Kunal it's impossible not to laugh. DRJ is one of the funniest scripts I have come across and Umesh, our director, is someone who really manages make me laugh a lot.
Q. Well talking about Kunal, how did these link up stories spread?
Soha: You tell me. I think according to the media an actress is born only to date. Her life moves from one co-star to another ? going by which there should be no time for acting. I just love our media. I think our journalists are pros at creative writing and are all wannabe filmmakers. First the media spins a story about a person and then approaches the same person for a clarification. Luckily thanks to my parents and brother I have seen this so often that I know you got to take what you read with a pinch of salt.
