Soha Learns Sign Language To Play A Deaf DJ

New Delhi: Bollywood beauty Soha Ali Khan has done a variety of roles but playing a deaf DJ is probably the toughest so far and she is learning sign language to master the nuances of her character. I am learning sign language for the film," said Soha, who will next be seen in Sudhir Mishra's 'Tera Kya Hoga Johnny', releasing December 17.Soha, 31, is also starring in Deepa Mehta's ambitious adaptation of Salman Rushdie's 'Midnight's Children' but she is not willing to reveal much. My character Preeti is a successful model but she is also coping with a drug-addict boyfriend and the darker side of modelling industry," she says.Unlike her mother Sharmila Tagore and brother Saif Ali Khan, Soha has been very selective in her roles in the past six-years of her career, which has been dominated by independent, small budget projects.Soha says she is attracted to such roles because she likes experimenting and exploring her capabilities as a performer. Sudhir has added different shades and layers to the role and it naturally becomes a well rounded and complex performance," she says about the director, who has made critically acclaimed films like 'Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi', 'Dharavi' and 'Chameli'.But the 'Rang De Basanti' star is quick to dispel the perception that she is only interested in serious roles.
