2008 also saw you break-up with Siddharth, a court case over a gun and a bikini shoot that surprised many...
What break-up? My link-up with Siddharth is all made up. As for the court case, I was unruffled as my name is clear. People know it. Coming to the bikini, let me make it clear, it was not a bikini...just a revealing dress! My mom took one look at the cover of the magazine and said, 'It's tame!'

We heard Saif was angry...
I am glad he was angry! He is very protective. Anyway, that's not the kind of shoot I would show to an elder in the family like my dad or Saif who's ten years older to me, and ask them, 'How do you think I look?'

Soha has a certain image and what made you go for that new look?
I wish I had a strategy, a goal. I'm moody and impulsive. I was approached for the cover shoot and I agreed.

Your recent film Dil Kabbadi showcases the dilemmas young couples face. What do you think makes a relationship work?
My parents will be celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary shortly. Both led celebrity lives but were there for each other through the highs and lows. Long after the romance was gone, couples that persist with their relationship are the ones who succeed. After all, no one's perfect. Coming to the present generation, they are full of the 'me' factor. They need to learn to give - unconditionally.

What are your future projects?
I'm looking forward to Tum Mile – it's the first love story I'm doing. Then there's Dhoondte Reh Jaoge, a commercial entertainer and 99, which is a slick comedy.

Apart from acting what are your other passions?
I am supporting an NGO, which works with school and college children, and I love to write fiction. Maybe some day, I might come out with a book!
