It was a walk down memory lane for Soha Ali Khan when she recently unveiled a book dedicated to her late father Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. The book on the cricket legend consists of essays written by Tiger’s daughters Soha and Saba and also has a foreword penned by Sharmila Tagore.

Soha says, “I was initially apprehensive when the publishers approached us as I actually wondered whether anyone would really be able to capture dad’s personality. He was so cool and classy. But I am thrilled with the final product.”

The actress also has kind words for all those who wrote about her dad. “Some ex-cricketers and leading journalists have written some wonderful anecdotes about him. Bishan Singh Bedi and Abbas Ali Baig have shared some cherished memories. This book is indeed a special one for me.”
