The formality is just associated with signing paper, but the value and commitment is more important to me.”

Royal Gifting from the Family

Talk of motherly love and you would be happily surprised to hear about the wedding gift in Tagore household. Of course, the darling mom Sharmila couldn’t give her daughter and would-be son-in-law a better gift than a plush Rs 9 crore flat. Located in the upmarket suburban area Khar in Mumbai, it is heard that each floor of the 9-storey building would have just one occupant per floor along with exclusive car parking. The flat has been jointly registered in the mother and daughter’s name. Apparently, both Soha and Kunal would stay on the topmost floor. Never knew the bird’s nest could be so elite, cosy and private.

Her ramp walks have always looked splendid and superb. In fact, she stunned the ramp and the glitterati dressed in a bridal wear for ace designer Vikram Phadnis at the Day 5 of Aamby Valley India Bridal Fashion Week 2012.

Not just that, she was the true show stopper when she walked for fashion designer Mohit Falod in Globoil Awards 2014 held in Mumbai. Soha dressed in a beautiful pink lehenga with blue coloured blouse and jewellery was picture perfect.
