Kunal Kemmu recalls Sharmila Tagore never looked at him in first meet
Markedly, Kunal Kemmu and Soha Ali Khan have been married for around nine years, and are parents to their daughter Inaaya.
In a recent media interaction,Kunal recalled that while things are smooth now, however, his first meet with Soha’s mother, veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, did not go pleasantly articulated in that,
Sharmila Tagore, his mother-in-law did not bother even look at him in the eye while talking to him, and he equated the nervousness of that experience with giving a job interview.
Kunal went on to add that he didn’t get the eye contact. It was his first meet with Sharmila as Soha’s boyfriend, but they had actually met earlier on a film set where he was dressed in a bath robe. He had met her on the sets of 99. They were shooting in a hotel and Kunal was in a bathrobe, that’s it. He was like firstly, Sharmila Tagore is coming and was in that costume and he couldn’t change. She also felt very awkward that time in that costume saying ‘hello ma’am’ and all that,” he recalled.
Kunal further recalled that she was reading a magazine when they met properly for the first time. “She was looking at this magazine so she said hello and he said hello,” and then enacted how Sharmila addressed him without looking up from her magazine.
Kunal said that he kept looking at Soha for a sign and I was giving her a look saying is this normal? That was the first time,” he shared with a laugh. Kunal said that Sharmila “slowly warmed up” to him and they further connected while cooking in London. He loves to cook and she loves to cook and she is a great cook. She saw him chopping onions and asked him‘what are you making?’ he said dal and he asked and she said she is making gobhi. So we were like ‘okay, let’s make it together’. And we kind of connected on that. After that, we have been great. After that she has not looked away from me. Soha and Kunal got married in 2015.
