Soha Ali Khan is in a happy place right now. Having returned from a long holiday to Spain and England, she is getting over a holiday hangover and can’t help planning her next vacation already. In fact, she’s making her list for 2012. From cooking to learning a new language, the actress wishes to accomplish a lot this year.

“I have always been impulsive. I have chosen a number of professions and committed mistakes but these phases have taught me a great deal about life. I sought refuge in the education system simply because I wanted to read and learn those subjects at that point in time. Of course, I’m glad I did it,” says Soha who worked for some big corporate groups like the Ford Foundation and Citigroup.
Soha admits that she has been laidback when it came to grabbing projects. She believes that after having worked with some of the most talented directors like Sudhir Mishra and Tigmanshu Dhulia, she doesn’t need to worry so much. “A good script and an able director who knows his craft well are the only two things I take into consideration while choosing offers,” she says. Having started out in Bollywood much later than her contemporaries, she admits to having lost out on some work, but says that she doesn’t regret it. “I want happiness in my professional and personal life and appreciate both. Right now, I have that,” she smiles.
On the personal front, she says that Kunal Khemu and she are content with the way their relationship is going. “I don’t feel the need for marriage right now. I value the relationship and commitment more than anything else. I do want marriage and the other things that follow it in life, but right now I’m not so sure if this is the right time,” she says.
Doesn’t mum Sharmila pressurise her? “Not at all. I guess she’s given up in many ways,” Soha laughs adding, “She knows how strong-minded an individual I am so she won’t even try convincing me on that front,” she says.
