Kunal Khemu got married to Soha Ali Khan in 2009 after a few years of dating. The two fell in love while shooting for the second film, 99. Kunal proposed to Soha in Paris, but this proposal came after she had introduced him to her family. Kunal recently recalled meeting Soha’s illustrious family.
Speaking to Raj Shamani on his podcast, Kunal said, “The most intimidating was meeting Amma (Sharmila Tagore). Dad (Tiger Ali Khan Pataudi) was also pretty cool, but I was just intimidated anyways, even though he’s pretty sweet. I remember Amma didn’t make eye contact with me for the longest time. Her questions weren’t directed at me. She asked, ‘So, what do you do?’ looking at a magazine. That was the first meeting, in the second meeting I got eye contact, and then we became really cool.”
“You’re always more nervous to meet the parents, and in her household, everybody is a champion. The first time I met Saif bhai was, we used to go play pool at a friend’s place. Bhai and his friend came together, and we met for the first time while playing pool. And the first thing he noticed about me was, ‘You’ve got good biceps’. I remember he was the coolest person,” Kunal said,
“It was too early for him to ask me what my intentions were, but he just chilled with us. He’s just such a nice person in general, and we’ve spent so much time together, we hardly ever talk about films. He has vivid interests, and he wants to know what your interests are and talk about those,” he added. Kunal said that when he later asked Soha what her brother mentioned about meeting him, Soha said, “He said you have good biceps.”
Kunal Khemmu and Soha Ali Khan welcomed their daughter, Inaaya Naumi, in 2017, two years after they got married.
