(Image: @sakpataudi) Whether it's through films, her book or social media, Soha Ali Khan has steadily crafted a path of her own. In the city for a panel discussion by California Almonds , Soha, who was recently seen in Chhorii 2, speaks about how her choices have evolved, the constant negotiation between motherhood and ambition, and why fitness today is an investment in her future self. Excerpts: 'Earlier, I went with my instinct. Now I think things through' When Soha started acting, her choices were driven by gut feeling. 'I was very instinctive back then, and I still am to an extent,' she says, adding, 'But now, beyond liking the script or the role, I also think about whether the director is someone I want to work with, whether the producer can get the film made, whether it has a good chance of finding the right platform. All those things matter now.' Soha also says that she has learned that a good performance isn't always enough. 'You could love your part and do it well. But if the film isn't backed properly or doesn't reach its intended audience, it won't make an impact. So, I've become more mindful about these things now.' 'Work has always been just one part of my life, not the whole of it' Soha says she was clear early on that she didn't want to live by anyone else's checklist. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo 'I've always known that you can't please everyone. So, I've never tried to. For me, it's more about - Am I enjoying this? Do I feel proud of my work? Am I in the right place?' But that doesn't mean she blocks out feedback. She is open to constructive criticism. 'It's good to be open to constructive criticism and yet be self-convinced by what you're doing. I don't need validation from everyone. There are a few people I trust, and if they say something's good, that's enough,' says Soha, adding, 'Work has always been just one part of my life, not the whole of it. And looking at my day now, with family, work, travel, I feel content.' For me, it's not about doing more. It's about doing what feels right, for my family, for myself, for where I am right now Soha Ali Khan 'In the beginning of motherhood, I wanted to do it all' Becoming a mother made Soha reevaluate balance. 'The bond with your child is the most intense love affair of your life,' she says. Agreeing that it is also tough, Soha adds, 'Even when my daughter is at school, I want to be home in time to spend the evening with her. You just want to be there for everything.' Like many new mothers, Soha struggled with letting go of control. She says, 'In the beginning, I wanted to do it all - feed her, put her to sleep, be there for every nap, every bath. But I realised that it wasn't sustainable. And it wasn't fair to me or her.' Now, she is open to learning and leaning on others for help. 'Letting go of control isn't easy,' she says, adding, 'But I've learned that you don't have to do everything yourself. Leaning on others doesn't make you weaker. Sometimes, it's what gives you the strength to do the things that matter.' Somewhere along the way, it's okay to lose grip on your work-life balance and then to find it again. It will constantly be a power struggle between work and life Soha Ali Khan Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .

Last Updated: Soha Ali Khan performed a series of classic exercises in the gym but she increased their intensity by adding a few interesting twists. Soha Ali Khan always keeps it candid and real on her social media. When she is not busy spending time with her family and with her work commitments, she often takes to her Instagram to share snippets from her fitness routine. The actor is quite dedicated when it comes to her health and fitness. She recently shared a glimpse into how she kickstarted her weekend on a fit note with her intense workout routine. Taking to her Instagram, Soha Ali Khan shared a video where she was seen sweating it out in the gym. She was seen in a multicoloured cropped top and dark-hued fitted leggings. She performed some classic exercises, but she increased their intensity by adding some twists. Sharing the video, she wrote, 'TGIF… The Grind Is Fierce!! But also Thank Goodness It's Friday!" Take a closer look at Soha's intensive workout routine here. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Soha (@sakpataudi) Here are the exercises that make up Soha's intensive Friday in the gym. Bar Push-Ups: An excellent move for building upper body strength, push-ups can be taken up a notch with variations. Soha demonstrates this by performing push-ups using a barbell, a slight tweak that ramps up the intensity and challenges stability. Pike Push-Ups: This dynamic variation not only targets the shoulders but also engages the core and upper body. It's a full-body strengthening move ideal for developing both muscle control and endurance. Step-Up Kicks with Weights: Incorporating dumbbells into step-up kicks boosts the effectiveness of this lower body workout. It strengthens the legs and glutes while also enhancing balance, coordination, and explosive power. Handstand Shoulder Taps: A more advanced movement, this exercise tests and builds upper body and core strength. It also sharpens balance and motor control, and can aid in stimulating circulation throughout the body. No-Hand Push-Ups: This variation ups the intensity by demanding even more from your core and upper body. It's a powerful way to strengthen muscles and may also contribute to cardiovascular fitness. Stability Ball Tuck Jumps: Adding a stability ball to your jump routine enhances core activation, posture, and balance. It's a great plyometric move to increase athletic performance and power. Kettlebell Punches: This high-energy exercise merges strength training with cardio. By engaging your core and upper body, kettlebell punches enhance stability, endurance, and overall conditioning. Lunges with Overhead Dumbbell Punches: Soha elevates basic lunges by incorporating overhead punches with dumbbells. This combo works multiple muscle groups, improves coordination, and makes for a more intense, calorie-burning session.
