Soha to be questioned in Pataudi’s black buck shooting
Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan, daughter of cricketer Mansur Ali Pataudi and actor Sharmila Tagore, is likely to face legal trouble for concealing facts when she renewed her gun licence here.
Gurgaon district authorities indicated Tuesday that they would issue a notice to Soha Ali Khan, demanding to know why legal action should not be taken against her for her violation of legal requirements while renewing the gun licence. She is also likely to be questioned, authorities here said.
Soha Ali has been accused of concealing the fact that her rifle was being used by her father, Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, and that he used that weapon to kill a black buck in 2005.
“We would serve her (Soha Ali Khan) a show-cause notice and ask her to appear before the investigating teams over a period of two weeks,” Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner Rakesh Kumar Gupta said Tuesday.
The actress did not reveal crucial facts to the Gurgaon district administration while renewing the licence for the rifle that Pataudi allegedly used to kill a black buckin June 2005 in Jhajjar district of Haryana.
Soha’s rifle was among the firearms seized when Pataudi was caught by the Jhajjar police with a black buck carcass.

Soha wants to be wicked and funny on screen
Her sweet and delicate presence in her last release “Ahista Ahista” was built on her image of an unspoilt beauty in pursuit of life’s mysteries, but Soha Ali Khan is keen to change that by doing funny and dark roles.
“‘Ahista Ahista’ was the first film to feature me as ‘the heroine’. So far I’ve been part of ensemble casts like ‘Rang De Basanti’ and ‘Pyaar Mein Twist’. Yeah, I agree films like ‘Antarmahal’, ‘Rang De Basanti’ and ‘Ahista Ahista’ have had me play timid characters, though I’m not the least like that in real life. I’d like to do something funny and maybe something a little dark,” Soha, whose “Khoya Khoya Chand” was released Friday, told IANS.
“I think I’ve been vulnerable often enough on screen. Now I’d like to tap other aspects of my personality. That opportunity to play a darker character than the characters I generally play would occur in Sudhir Mishra’s ‘Khoya Khoya Chand’. I want to do something that would make people laugh. In real life I’ve a lot of self-confidence and I think I’ve a sense of humour.”
