soha wants recognition not attention

Soha Ali Khan hates attention of the wrong kind. She says, "I am into the acting profession to satisfy my creative urges and any kind of recognition in what I have pursued, will definitely make me happy. But if people are thinking that I am here to seek attention then, they are wrong. When fans recognise me it does not give me a high. I have already seen enough of it and it isn't something new to me. I feel it is only those who are insecure about themselves who love attention."

Soha is currently looking forward to Shivam Nair's Ahista Ahista. "The film is about two people from different walks of life and how their relationship develops slowly," she says. Did Soha feel more responsible since she was the solo lead? "Of course, it is a huge responsibility. I am nervous, but at the same time I am excited," she adds.

The actress tells us about her apprehensions. "After Rang De Basanti I was wondering if it would be right for me to act with a new director and actor, but Shivam Nair's narration put all my doubts to rest. Also, what made me confident was the involvement of Imtiaz Ali. I had seen Socha Na Tha and thoroughly enjoyed it. Ahista Ahista has a certain innocent quality about it," she says.

Recalling the Rang De Basanti experience Soha says, "As Aamir Khan, Kunal Kapoor, Siddharth Suryanarayan, Ajit Kulkarni and Alice Patten were around, it definitely did make me give my best. At the same times, also in Ahista Ahista because I was the only female lead, I guess therein lay the challenge."
