Royalty is a state of mind for Soha Ali Khan

In a shoot with HT City Showstoppers, the actor opens up about comfort, confidence, and context — her three rules for feeling powerful.

Soha Ali Khan brought regal elegance to the lens — a natural extension of her illustrious lineage. With her effortless poise and timeless fashion sense, Soha proves that grace, much like style, runs in the blood.

Soha channels modern-day royalty in a pleated gown paired with an embroidered velvet robe by Divani. A timeless choker necklace from ISVARI completes the look.

Ask her about royal behaviour and she says, “I don’t think royalty is about doing ‘royal’ things — it’s just a part of who you are. You could be brushing your hair, eating or even sleeping, and still carry yourself in a regal way. I feel most powerful when I’m comfortable and wearing something that flatters me. For me, it’s all about dressing appropriately for the occasion.”

The 46-year-old is an age-defying beauty and shares the secret behind her flawless skin. “The one beauty rule I swear by is to be kind to yourself when you look in the mirror, and I think you learn to love yourself and accept yourself because life will be much happier when you do that.”
