A few days ago, Kunal Khemu Talked about his wife, actor-writer Soha Ali Khan’s feedback on the film. In chat with News18 Showsha, Kunal Khemu said, “When she saw some crowds, her response was all positive. As much as I trust her and know that she can talk to me, sometimes I feel like she can go easy on me so that’s encouraging. Maybe she did that to understand whether I am confident about my film or not.”
Kunal Khemu highlights Soha Ali Khan’s key role in restoring her confidence. He said, “She (Soha Ali Khan) knew that I had a huge burden and I was excited and nervous about it. But I also believe in myself and so I know that what she thinks is not completely wrong. Margaon Express was in the right place. I felt proud and happy about what I did.”
“She (Soha Ali Khan) chooses the right words and conveys her thoughts in the right way. That wet slap was of no use. She sits me down, calms me down, and then lovingly tells me if and when I mess up. That’s her way of slapping me (laughs),” added Kunal Khemu.
