Soha takes Bengali lessons from mom  Despite having done two Bengali films, Soha Ali Khan still gets mother Sharmila Tagore to say the dialogues to her so that she gets the Bengali accent right. The actress reveals that she is not very comfortable with the language as yet. "I can't speak Bengali at all but I can understand it. It's difficult because I have to memorise my lines with much more effort. It’s a lot more work than required in Hindi and English films," says Soha. Soha reveals that is when she needs her mother desperately. "She often chides me for not getting my accent right. I get my mother to say all of my dialogues and I record them and listen to them later to better my accent," she added.
The actress has won a lot of critical acclaim for her role in Anjan Das’ Iti Srikanta and in Rituparno Ghosh's Antar Mahal. She is now doing another Bengali project with Aparna Sen. "I’m doing Goinar Baksho (The Jewellery Box) with Aparnaji. It's a film that we have been planning to make since a long time and finally the dates and stuff have been decided. I'm really excited; it's a lovely script," Soha said.
