MUMBAI: It seems actor Soha Ali Khan is ready shed her inhibitions. The actor, in her nine-year-old career in the film industry, has mostly been seen in a girl-next-door kind of roles. Now, she is all set to go glamorous on-screen. The actor will be seen wearing a bikini for the first time in her upcoming Mr. Joe B Carvalho that stars Arshad Warsi and Javed Jaffery.

Soha’s mother veteran actress Sharmila Tagore was one of the first actors to don a two piece in An Evening in Paris, but what took her so long to go bold? “I haven't been in a pool before in any of my films so there was never a need to wear a swimsuit. I was given the choice between a swimsuit and a bikini and I chose to wear a blue bikini from my personal collection..!!  I love the water and swim a lot, so I was not uncomfortable doing the shot although it was a first for me and so I was a bit nervous about the aesthetics of it and was insistent it should not be crass or crude but look effortless and natural. Thanks to my director Samir (Tewari) as that is what we have got!!”

Soha had requested Samir if she could wear a two-piece from her personal collection and within no time Soha sat down with her stylist and zeroed down the beautiful blue bikini, blue being her favorite colour!!
