Soha Ali Khan<\/strong><\/a>, who recently appeared in the film Chhorii 2<\/strong><\/a>, spoke candidly about the struggles her foremothers endured to carve out space for themselves and for future generations. She shared, \u201cMy grandmother wanted to do a MA in Bengal, but she was not allowed to, because men went away and were allowed to study and pursue higher education. Women were simply not allowed to. But she persisted, fought that battle, it cost her Rs 50 to do her MA. Her father said I\u2019ll give you a Banarsi saree for 50 bucks, but she insisted on studying. She was the first woman in our family, one of the first women in Bengal to do a MA.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She also reflected on her mother, veteran actress Sharmila Tagore<\/a><\/strong>, and the societal pressures she faced. \u201cShe was asked her whole life how did your husband allow you to work, to be an actress, as it was considered good girls don\u2019t end up being actresses.\u201d Soha noted how the paths paved by the women before her allowed her to live with far fewer constraints. \u201cI got married at the age of 36. Very late in the day\u2026 but nobody ever questioned. I went to Oxford, I did an MA., and they were always excited and encouraging. Even the fact that I choose to have a child much later in life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite these advancements, she acknowledged that outdated expectations still persist, even in privileged and educated circles. \u201cEven today, in affluent families, well-educated families, there is still an expectation that you don\u2019t have a son, there is a feeling that you are incomplete. I have a daughter, I\u2019m very happy, most people around me are very happy. But there is still a sense somewhere that I have disappointed somebody.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Soha also addressed the constant scrutiny her family faces from the media and public. \u201cI have gotten a bit thick-skinned, it doesn\u2019t bother me. But one thing that amuses me is how when I post something, people start commenting upon my religion. Because I have married into a Hindu family, my mother has a Hindu surname and she married a Muslim person. Usually if we post something on Diwali, they are like how many rozas have you kept, if we post on Holi, there are comments reading what kind of Muslim you are? It doesn\u2019t bother me, but it is something that I do notice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She attributed this culture of criticism to deeper societal conditioning. She observed that people often find joy in tearing others down: \u201cWe get happiness by bitching about people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
