What is it like to be known as Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's daughter?
Or to have a mother as famous as Sharmila Tagore?
Or to be recognized as Saif Ali Khan's sister?
Or as Kareena Kapoor's sister-in-law?
And where do I stand among them?
Actor Soha Ali Khan's debut book is at heart a brilliant collection of personal essays where she recounts with self-deprecating humour what it was like growing up in one of the most illustrious families of the country. With never before published photos from her family's archives, The Perils of Being Moderately Famous takes us through some of the most poignant moments of Soha's life-from growing up as a modern-day princess and her days at Balliol College to life as a celebrity in the times of social media culture and finding love in the most unlikely of places-all with refreshing candour and wit.
