Soha Ali Khan maintains that she is always anxious before the camera rolls. Between the words 'action' and 'cut' I am always nervous too and one would simultaneously want to leave an impression on Naseer Saab!
Last seen in Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster franchise, Bollywood star Soha Ali Khan is excited about her OTT debut with Zee 5's forthcoming endevour titled Kaun Banegi Shikharwati. Set in Rajasthan, the said show is studded with a promising cast including Naseeruddin Shah, Lara Dutta, Kritika Kamra and Raghubir Yadav. In her exclusive chat with LatestLY, Soha talked about a rather unusual outing where drama and commotion ensues to evoke laughs.
"The aging royal king (played by Naseeruddin Shah) must choose an heir to his throne. That's when he invites his four estranged daughters to participate in a ridiculous contest, and whoever shall emerge victoriously will assume the position of the "king". And that sort of triggers the whole drama of Kaun Banegi Shikharwati, " explains Soha about the series revolving around a dysfunctional family.

But what is it like to work with the acting institute himself, Naseeruddin Shah. Many veterans would have cold feet at the prospect of sharing the screen space with him, given his hold over the craft mastered by years of theatre and working in meaningful films, we quizzed Soha. " I feel nervous generally. Between "action" and "cut" I always feel nervous. And that happens to me irrespective of who I am working with or even in my solo scenes. But yes, working with him is a rewarding experience and everybody wants to leave him impressed with their acting skills." Soha states matter-of-factly.

He won't overwhelm you with his craft. In fact, he will help you grow as an artist. legends like him don't try to teach you or be preachy, they will always give you interesting anecdotes and some really fabulous stories that will help you as an artist.
