Soha Ali Khan On Daughter Inaaya Growing Up: “Scary As Well As Exciting Because She Is Exposed To So Much”

Actress Soha Ali Khan says watching her two-year-old daughter Inaaya Naumi Kemmu grow is scary as well as exciting, adding that she is at an age where she is absorbing everything and repeating things.

“I want her to learn and grow all the time. You know, this is the age where you can see that she is absorbing everything, she is repeating things. It is a scary time as well as an exciting time because she is exposed to so much. She is not just exposed to me and I would like to think that I am the best influencer on her but I am sure that I am not perfect, so, you know, school, other children, other parents, staff, other family members, everyone is contributing to her development at this point,” Soha told IANS.

“So this is the time where everything you say or do can expose her to matters because it’s all being absorbed and forming who she is which is why I think what she sees on a screen whether it’s a tablet, whether it’s a TV, whether it’s a phone, matters because I want her to see what is appropriate and what is responsible and what is right and what will help her grow as opposed to not engage her,” added the actress, who became part of the launch of edutainment app VOOT Kids recently.

Soha, who is married to actor Kunal Kemmu, asserted that motherhood changes ones life completely.

“I used to wake up at noon and have lunch straight-away. Now, I’m up at like before 7 and I literally like pass out at night. I don’t go to bed but by like 10.30 – 11, I’m exhausted. Often, I can’t sleep at 11 because you have a social commitment, you have a professional engagement… I think that women are used to wearing multiple caps but I know that being a mother, being a wife, being a daughter or being a sister, you are required to be all those things and then you’re required to work, fulfil your professional commitments,” she pointed out.
