Soha Ali Khan, a prominent figure in Hindi cinema, has openly discussed her unconventional yet increasingly common approach to modern parenthood, particularly her reliance on artificial intelligence in raising her daughter, Inaaya Naumi Kemmu. The actress elaborated on how AI has become an integral part of her parenting toolkit, offering immediate solutions and a unique form of support that human interactions sometimes cannot provide.
In a conversation with Tweak India, Soha highlighted the equilibrium she strives for between human connections and technological assistance. She articulated that while she values real-world relationships, the empathy she receives from AI is substantial. This statement sheds light on a growing trend where parents turn to AI for guidance on various child-rearing aspects, from deciphering a child’s behavioral patterns to finding effective soothing techniques or managing temper tantrums.
Soha candidly shared a significant advantage of using AI: its boundless availability. Unlike human confidantes who may have their own schedules and limitations, AI offers constant, on-demand support. “There is a lot of time that AI has for me that other people may not have, and there seems to be a lot of what I want to hear coming back to me,” she explained. This constant availability, coupled with AI’s ability to provide tailored responses, makes it an attractive resource for busy parents seeking immediate answers and reassurance. Despite acknowledging that this perceived empathy might merely be a programmed feature, Soha continues to frequently engage with AI for her parenting queries.
Interestingly, Soha maintains a level of privacy regarding her AI interactions. She admitted to prefacing her questions to intelligent machines with the playful disclaimer, “Asking for a friend,” a humorous tactic she jokingly recommended to others to avoid revealing their personal vulnerabilities directly. This suggests a nuanced relationship with AI, where users seek its benefits while still maintaining a degree of personal detachment or anonymity.
Beyond her technological parenting methods, Soha also touched upon her authentic self in the context of her daughter’s upbringing. When asked if she hides any part of herself from Inaaya, the actress firmly stated that after eight years, her daughter has witnessed every facet of her personality. Soha believes in showing Inaaya her true self, imperfections and all. “I want Inaaya to see me for what I truly am, which is far from perfect. I’m a bit of a mess at times. I have lost my temper, I have cried, and she sees me. She sees me for who I truly am,” she confessed. She further revealed that an earlier attempt to maintain a curated persona for three years eventually ceased, and she is now grateful for Inaaya’s empathy and unconditional acceptance.
Professionally, Soha Ali Khan was last seen in the film ‘Chhorii 2,’ where she portrayed the character of Daasi Maa. The movie made its debut on Amazon Prime Video in April 2025, marking her recent work in the industry.
