The Pataudi-Tagore family has given Bollywood several great actors and iconic films. Among them is actor Soha Ali Khan, who is the youngest of Sharmila Tagore and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi\u2019s children. She has always been vocal about the couple\u2019s brand of parenting<\/a> and how they raised her, Saba Ali Khan, and Saif Ali Khan. In a recent interview, Soha talked about her relationship with her brother and how both their parents were worried about him being a bad influence on his siblings.<\/p>\n

Driving through Mumbai<\/a> on Mashable India\u2019s YouTube channel, Soha talked about how Saif and she weren\u2019t very close as children because of several factors. \u201cI and Bhai (brother; Saif) are nine years apart, which is a lot. There wasn\u2019t much of an overlap because when I was born, he went abroad for studies. When he came back, he started working in film, and I went to study in Oxford. After coming to Mumbai is when both of us actually started spending time together and became much closer. \u201cHe was a mystery to me while growing up, because he used to study in Winchester and would only come home for the holidays, and he did whatever he wanted to do,\u201d said Soha.<\/p>\n

She elaborated on that last line and said, \u201cHe was sort of a rebel as a child, and my parents used to take his example and tell us what not to do. The room that I had growing up actually was his room, but when he came over, I wasn\u2019t allowed to sleep there, because he would often jump out the window at night and come back at unusual hours. He did a lot of things, and my parents didn\u2019t let me sleep in that room because they thought I already looked like him, so I should at least not turn out like him. I and my sister used to be very excited for him to come home, because he used to change the energy of the house. You never knew in what state he would turn up; sometimes he would have red hair, blonde hair, or long hair.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soha and Saif definitely grew closer with time, and the former recently recalled how Saif introduced his then girlfriend<\/a> Kareena Kapoor<\/a> to her. Talking to Zoom, Soha shared how her brother first told her about Kareena and said, \u201cI just remember my brother calling me, and we were shooting something or other at that time. He said, \u2018I wanted to let you know that my girlfriend is two years younger than you.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Okay, great!\u2019 That was my introduction.\u201d She added that she and Kareena took their sweet time getting to know each other and admitted that \u201cany relationship that has meaning to it requires time and nurturing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pataudi-Tagore family has given Bollywood several great actors and iconic films.
