And why not? Daughter of veteran actress Sharmila Tagore and sister of Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, it was not surprising when Soha in her 20s, preferred a career in films over a banker's job after having studied at the London School of Economics.

And like her mother, Soha too began her celluloid journey with Bangla cinema. Her debut film was Iti Srikanto, based on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's all-time popular novel. The film turned out to be a big hit in West Bengal after its release a few months ago. The film is slated for release in Mumbai in October this year.

After Iti Srikanto, Soha made an apprearance in Bollywood with Hindi feature film Dil Maange More. The movie, starring Shahid Kapoor, is scheduled for commercial release in November this year.

This will be followed by Yatna (Agony) to be directed by non-resident Indian Rajashtree Ojha. The shooting of the film, which recounts three separate stories of human relationships, is scheduled to start in October this year.

What is Soha's game plan and what is behind starting with a serious role and then switching to comedy in Dil Maange More and readying to do a different role in the next film? For Soha this is a conscious decision, as she does not want to get typecast with any particular genre of films or language.

Soha says 'I know it's a very competitive world and if you are not up to the mark, people are ready to overtake you.'
