Soha joked that when she first told her husband, actor Kunal Kemmu and daughter Inaya that she plays a ‘slightly negative and mean’ character in the film, they understood given that she’s a disciplinarian at home. Talking about her daughter in particular she said, “She (Inaya) is now six and has a sense of self. She’s old enough for me to step away and focus on things I want to do for myself, not just for my husband, daughter, or family.”

Soha also stated that not only does Inaya understand her dreams, in the long run, the move will also help her achieve her dreams too. She said, “I have personal ambitions and things I want to pursue as a professional. She is also understanding and supportive of my work. She’s of an age where she understands that I have my dreams, that it’s important for me to earn my own income, and all of that will help her to achieve her dreams as well.”
