Says Soha, “I am back in Mumbai and happy that the film has got a good response from the crtics and audience. I’m glad my role as a deaf, lip reading tutor is also being appreciated. Having faced one of the biggest tragedy in my life, this kind of news just gives a bit of hope to take life ahead. In fact Bhai is changed ever since dad’s death. He is very involved in our daily lives. He has always been close to all of us but now he is extra protective and we understand and appreciate it. In fact he called me the other day after reading the reviews and said that he wants to watch the film at the earliest. Since he is shooting for Agent Vinod  I shall be arranging a special screening by the end of this week. I am very excited as this will be my second movie after Rang de Basanti that he will see.”Ask her about her and Saif-Kareena marriage to be on hold and she quickly adds, “I don’t know if my marriage was even in the run. Yes as far as bhai and Kareena’s wedding goes, I guess it is on hold as it has not even been a month. But finally only Bhai and Kareena will decide when they will tie the knot. As for us as a family, we all will be very happy in whatever makes them happy.”

Talking about Kunal’s absence during the last rites at her dad’s funeral, she explains, “I knew how he was feeling and how he wanted to be here. But he was shooting in Cape Town for Blood money and just 2 days of the schedule was left. So I was pretty much okay because he was anyway on his way here. I need him now because I miss dad. It is only after all the initial rituals are over that the true grieving period starts. Now, I have Kunal by my side and that means a lot to me.”
