debut MOMENTS Soha Ali Khan plays host

This graduate from the London School of Economics couldn’t fit into a “nine-to-five job of accounts and numbers”. So, she jumped into films and made a considerable place for herself “because of genes”, as she puts it. No w, seeing several actors making television a medium to remain popular, she has followed suit.

You will soon find Soha Ali Khan hosting a reality game show “Godrej Khelo Jeeto Jiyo”. It will be aired on Star Plus from June 29, 7.30 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Soha will gain more popularity for two reasons; one, the game has a grand prize — a fully furnished house for the winner, which will attract eyeballs — and two, she was heavily into debates and elocution competitions in school and college. So, a live audience and impromptu chat should not be problem for her.

The participants will be allowed to team up with a relative or a friend to play a series of innovative games that require knowledge of current affairs, mythology and, of course, general awareness.

One can participate in the show by purchasing a Godrej product, and sending an SMS, mentioning the value and barcode of the product.

While anchoring, Soha “wore high heels” and “kept a smile” on her face on mom’s advice. A debut on television doesn’t mean Soha has no films on hand. She will be seen in an action thriller “Accident” with Shiney Ahuja and “Tum Mile” with Emraan Hashmi.

And she will soon debut in an English film with her mother.
