Soha thrilled by romances of yore

Mumbai: Actress Soha Ali Khan has said she has been fascinated by the history and thrilled by the romantic stories of royals.

"History was my favourite subject since school days. Like past romantic stories of kings, queens, Mughal empires, Britishers who came to India and how we fought....I used to like those stories and use to imagine them," Soha told reporters here. Soha has been dating actor Kunal Khemu for about two years and there are rumors about the two getting engaged this year. Interestingly, her family has seen a history of love marriages. Her late father Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi married actress Sharmila Tagore and her brother Saif Ali Khan is all set to enter into wedlock once again--this time with actress Kareena Kapoor. Soha, who is a brand ambassador of Siksha programme, feels, education is the right of every child. "There are 200 million students who are not getting chance to go to schools. We all must value the education and all parents must encourage their children to go to schools. It is a big problem and all of us need to contribute in some or the other way, be it monetarily or through teaching programmes," she added. PTI
