There isn’t any dilly-dallying. To every question, a straight, to the point, answer is given. If at all a bit of explaining is needed, it follows without making a request. Whatever happened to the celebrity attitude and tantrums! Soha Ali Khan is simply uncomplicated; unaffected by the star status. She doesn’t dodge any question, not even the unending queries about Saif–Kareena wedding. “I understand peoples’ curiosity and I don’t mind telling them whatever little I know,” says the actor. She was at Manav Mangal School in Mohali on Friday as part of Follow Your Heart campaign, which encourages students to follow the career of your choice.

This concentrated chlorine compound may kill the bacteria but can also be harmful to your skin and hair.
