Happy Birthday Soha Ali Khan!

Today, on the 4th of October, we celebrate the birthday of a celebrity belonging to the royal family. We, of course, are talking about the actress, Soha Ali Khan.

Soha was born to the family of Nawabs of Pataudi. Her parents are the former Indian cricket team captain, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and yesteryear Bollywood diva, Sharmila Tagore. While actor Saif Ali Khan is her elder brother, popular actress Kareena Kapoor is her sister-in-law.

Soha completed her education from the British School, New Delhi and then took Geography at Balliol College, Oxford. She even owns a masters in International Relations from London School of Economics and Political Science.

Belonging to a well-known family and growing up in an acting background, Soha's entry in Bollywood was quite natural. However, she was quite involved in other activities outside the cinematic world before making her Bollywood debut in Dil Maange More in 2004 alongside Shahid Kapoor and Ayesha Takia. The film was a moderate success and later she was seen in movies such as Rang De Basanti (2006), Khoya Khoya Chand (2007), Mumbai Meri Jaan(2008), 99 (2009), Tum Mile (2009), Saheb, Biwi aur Gangster Returns (2013) and Go Goa Gone (2013). Though being the daughter of a mother who is still known for garnering hits after hits in the olden times, Soha unfortunately failed to repeat her mom's history. This is largely due to the fact that the majority of her films did not work at the box office except the fact that she was appreciated for a few character portrayals. She will soon be seen in films such War Chhod Na Yaar and Airport scheduled to release later this year. 

Soha might have been a part of some unsuccessful films but she has managed to garner a good few soulful and pleasant soundtracks with her steady career in Bollywood.

Below is a mini-playlist of her biggest hits:
