Kunal Kemmu turned 38 today and celebrated his big day with a small family celebration with Soha Ali Khan, daughter Inaaya, his parents and sister Karishma Kemmu. So, today, on the actor's big day, revisiting Soha's old interview where she revealed Kunal was wearing a bathrobe when her mother, actor Sharmila Tagore met him. The couple met on the sets of the 2009 film Dhoondte Reh Jaoge and tied the knot six years later, in January 2015.
In a 2012 interview with a leading daily, the couple was asked how they spoke about each other to their parents. Soha had said that she had relied on her mother to tell her father, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. "I would’ve never told my father directly because we didn’t have discussions about boys. I relied on my mother to tell him. I must’ve told her and she is very liberal and trusting of my choices and not overtly concerned. She met Kunal on the sets of 99 and unfortunately he was doing a scene in which he had to wear a pink bathrobe," Soha had said. Kunal corrected her saying "white bathrobe" to which Soha said, "yeah". She then continued, "White bathrobe with shorts. She liked him immediately, and he is very good with mothers."
On the same question, Kunal had replied, "It was quite casual and informal and I think they were slightly uncomfortable, especially my dad, because it was the first time I was telling them that I’m seeing a woman."
Speaking about Soha's family members, Kunal had said, "I’m very fond of Saif bhai as I call him now. Anybody can get along with him because he is a very entertaining person. I respect Amma (Sharmila Tagore) a lot. She’s a legendary actress and initially I was very nervous around her. Saba is a very real person..."
