Mumbai : Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan served up some pre-Diwali inspiration that perfectly blends humour with style as she posed next to a backhoe loader and said that “when life gives you potholes, make it your runway.” This is truly a Soha Ali Khan mantra for turning challenges into opportunities.
Soha on Wednesday morning took to Instagram, where she shared a string of pictures. In the first two photographs, Soha posed gracefully in front of a backhoe on a street dressed in a flowing, floral-printed lehenga with a sheer, embellished dupatta draped. The last few photographs had the actress posing at a Diwali party she attended, further illustrating her unique mantra for style and grace.
For the caption, she wrote: “Ah the season of fireworks and roadworks… I guess when life gives you potholes, make it your runway #prediwali (sic).” This reflects her mantra, wherein she blends everyday occurrences into style statements.
Ahead of attending the Diwali party, Soha shared a video doing mobility workout with cloth. In the video, the actress did movements with her hand on her gym mirror, leaving the mirror clean simultaneously. This innovative workout is yet another Soha Ali Khan mantra showcasing her creative approach to fitness.
Placing the towels below her feet, Soha also effectively mopped the floor of the gym.
She wrote as the caption: “Just a little pre- Diwali spring cleaning at the gym… wiping down the mirrors, mopping the floors .. and busting some calories! Who needs a hoover when you have this range of motion ? (Laughing and dancing emoji) #diwaliready #functionalfitness.(sic)”
