Soha Ali Khan laughs off motherhood query

May 14, 2016 IANS

New Delhi: The stork is visiting several homes in B-Town, but actress Soha Ali Khan, who is married to actor Kunal Kemmu, doesn’t seem to have any plans to raise a family as of now.

When asked about her plans about it, Soha laughed and told IANS: "When that happens, you will be the first one to know."

Shahid Kapoor's wife Mira Rajput is expecting, and so is actress Genelia Deshmukh. In recent times, Rani Mukerji gave birth to her first baby with husband Aditya Chopra, and actor Purab Kohli also became a father.

Soha got engaged to Kunal in July 2014 in Paris and they got married in Mumbai in January 2015. Earlier this year, the couple shot down divorce rumours, with Soha giving out a message that the bond between the duo is “solid”.

The actress shared her views with IANS over phone from Hyderabad, when she came on board detergent Ariel India's Dads #ShareTheLoad Movement with her star mother Sharmila Tagore. The superstars were proud to partner with Ariel India and Whirlpool India to get more dads, husbands and men to #ShareTheLoad with Ariel Matic's 'ShareTheLoad' pack and Whirlpool Washing Machines.

They came together to address the prejudice of household inequality at an event in Hyderabad on Thursday. The movement has over the past months received local and international support from the likes of Pankaj Kapur, Supriya Pathak and Tabu, to Sheryl Sandberg and Melinda Gates.

Talking about the campaign, Soha said: "I think it is a wonderful campaign. It should be celebrated as it is a wonderful message and really is a social revolution of sorts. It is not about women going to work, but men helping in household. And we are a long way from that."

Soha's last big screen appearance was in "Ghayal Once Again", which featured actor Sunny Deol in a key role. She will next be seen in "31st October".
