Soha Ali Khan recently lost her father Nawab Pataudi and
since then, has been trying hard to learn to live without her father.
When we caught up with her, her mood was sombre. She said, “All of a
sudden, I feel as though I have gained some kind of strength within
myself. Though I cannot believe dad is not here anymore, I have a strong
feeling he is somewhere here only. Losing a parent is the last thing we
would ever want but that’s how life goes is.”
Recalling her father’s last few days, she says, “His health was not in a good condition for a while and he was being treated for lung infection. This was slightly unusual but we hoped against all odds. I always felt he would be okay.”
Sharing some unforgettable memories, she says, “I remember him with a lot of love. He has been there whenever I needed him. Relationships with parents cannot be expressed in words. The dictionary too falls short of words when we want to talk about their unselfish love for their kids. At times, I literally feel his loss which can never be filled with what-so-ever may come. I need to be strong to let life go on.”
On brother Saif, she adds, “Bhai looks physically powerful but, from within I know how hurt he is about Pa leaving us. He is a father too, but you still feel like a kid when you think about your own father.”
Talking about mother Sharmila Tagore she says, “Amma is coping, but this is a great loss for her. Saba and I are spending as much time as we can with her, in order to fill the gap.”
