Talking fitness and family with Soha Ali Khan and Sharmila Tagore

The mother-daughter duo, who lives by example, shows how to get the best out of your life

Dressed in black track pants and a T-shirt, hair in a messy bun, new mom Soha Ali Khan Pataudi looks fresh and upbeat as she gives interviews about her new book at her quiet Delhi residence. Her mother, Sharmila Tagore, legendary actor, mother to three ‘adult’ kids and grandmother to probably the most popular star kids of the present, gracefully enters the room in a rose pink sari, instructing the help to close the door. “It’s cold,” she says, and smiles at me.

As parents, Sharmila Tagore and her late husband, cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, were liberal , and now Soha intends to follow in their footsteps (Make-up by Arjun Bundela. Hair by Bharti Chavan. Soha styled by Neha Bijlaney)(Naina Redhu)
