I’m a biased mother: Sharmila Tagore
Admits Censor Board chief Sharmila Tagore on being quizzed on her children, Saif and Soha by Ritujaay Ghosh.
We haven’t seen you in films for sometime now.. not since Eklavya ?
You will, soon. I’ve been shooting for Nagesh Kukunoor’s as-yet-untitled film with Akshay Kumar. I’m pretty excited about it because it’s a thriller. I haven’t experimented with this genre for a while now. (Laughs ) Can’t say more or I’d let the cat out.
What’s happening with Aparna Sen’s Jewellery Box that was to have top-lined, Govinda, Soha and you?
I really don’t know. I haven’t been contacted for a while. I don’t think it’s happening anytime soon. But I’d love to be a part of it.
You must be looking forward to Khoya Khoya Chand?
Yeah, I have to be in Mumbai for the premiere or Soha (Ali Khan) is going to be very annoyed. My daughter wants to watch the film with me. I hope she’s done a good job. It’s a different kind of film and she has an important role.
Would you be an unbiased spectator?
No, I’m very biased towards my children’s work. I watch their films like a mother and not as an actor. I watch Soha’s films at least thrice before giving my opinion and even then, I end up
being very biased ( smiles ).
What about Saif?
Saif ’s grown a lot as an actor. He’s matured now. But Soha still has a long way to go.
