What are the perks of being the daughter of popular veteran actress Sharmila Tagore and legendary cricketer, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, the 9th Nawab of Pataudi? How is it to be identified as Saif Ali Khan's sister and Kareena Kapoor Khan's sister-in-law? Soha, who not only began a new chapter of motherhood but also that of an author, revealed the journey of finding herself in different capacities. "I'm following the footsteps of superstars and the repercussion is an ever-present risk. It is not unusual for me to feel inadequate, to feel frustrated, to feel that no matter what I achieve, in comparison to my parents and my brother, I will always fall short", said Soha Ali Khan of the Pataudi family while discussing her debut book, "The Perils Of Being Moderately Famous", with actor-writer, Jayant Kripalani in Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival. The book is published by Penguin Random house India and is a collection of Soha's personal essays where she describes, with a self-deprecating witticism, what it was like growing up in one of the most famous families of the country. Check out the video and find out Soha's journey of writing this book and her narration of several anecdotes and personal family insights.
