The actress claimed that by the time she was born, her dad, who was a cricket player, had retired. But she continued playing for enjoyment of the sport. “There was no money at all, if you can believe it, in cricket when my father was playing in the 1960s. no IPL, no endorsements, nothing.”
The Rang De Basanti actress continued that her mother, Sharmila Tagore, was the breadwinner of the family, and so she always remembers her father telling her mother that she should do whatever makes her happy. Soha also praised the fact that her mother has been an actor her whole life and she still chose to do whatever her heart prompted her to do.
“At the age of 24, she got married even though you typically don’t do that if you are a woman. You know that when you get married, your career takes a bit of a hit. She had a child a couple of years later, and she continued to work, and she had some of her biggest successes after that,” quipped Sharmila’s daughter.
