Soha Ali Khan says she prefers Bengali films to Bollywood as the former has strong roles for girls.

She told media persons on the sets of her latest film Ahista Ahista , starring herself and Abhay Deol : "I like Bengali films much more because they have strong roles for girls and they make films out of love not for commercial reasons."



Soha, who made a grand splash along with other stars in this year's biggest hit Rang De Basanti (RDB), is of the opinion that "you have to put yourself out there on hoardings, be trashed, criticised and praised to be a film star."

Post RDB, the response from people has been very positive and hence she has become very choosy. Her forthcoming films include Aparna Sen's film 'Jewellery Box' starring Konkana Sen , Sudhir Mishra's film, Bahut Nikle Mere Armaan with Shiney Ahuja .
There are two other films which are ready - 'Postcards' by Rajshree Ojha and 'Meridian' a commercial film by Vinod Mitra.

Soha admits she is currently learning Kathak and working on her dialogues. Of her influential family she says, it is an asset. She says: "I can call them anytime I want help, but I don't call mom on the sets because I get nervous."

She also rubbished rumours of her starting a production house with her brother actor Saif Ali Khan .
