Actor and author Soha Ali Khan recently shared insights into the creative process behind her podcast All About Her during a candid conversation on the Bollywood Hungama podcast. She revealed how the idea took shape at home, with her husband, actor Kunal Kemmu, being the first sounding board.
Soha said, “I asked Kunal; he’s at home with me and we bounce things off each other. I told him I was thinking about doing this, and he said it was a good idea. He often says something is not a good idea, so for him to say it’s a good idea makes me think there’s some merit to it.”
She explained that the concept of the show rests on featuring “one phenomenal woman and one expert” in each episode. “I wanted one phenomenal woman and one expert because I want the relatability and I also want the expert advice, the actual takeaways. He said that’s an interesting format and that he hadn’t really seen it before. That’s why I went with it.”
“During brainstorming, he suggested a person named Aman Sharma who could help put this together. I contacted Aman, and he introduced me to a team at a company called ACE. They’re wonderful, very young people with a completely different take on life—they wake up at noon and sleep at four,” she remarked.
Soha also recalled standing her ground when it came to authenticity. “I said I am not going to lip sync something on Instagram to get popular and they’re like you should cook something and I was like but I can’t cook and I need to be authentic.”
Acknowledging the contributions of her creative collaborators, she added, “Bumika, who’s a writer, and Anish, who has a great sense of cinematography and put the camera team together, along with Yash, a fabulous editor; all helped put this together. We brainstormed for a few months, made a list of subjects, talked about scripts and made a wish list of people to invite, and then called people and said please we only need 90 minutes of your time. We have no money to give you, so please do your own hair and makeup.”
She humorously summed up the limited production resources, saying, “At most, we provided a glass of water or some coffee.”
