This is one young actress who can be easily tagged as the new age thinking actress.

After all, since the beginning of her career, hasn't she done a good mix of commercial and intelligent cinema?

She's not just done commercial flicks like ‘Dil Maange More' and ‘Shaadi number 1' but also critically acclaimed flicks where she has proved her acting capabilities like ‘Antar Mahal', ‘Rang De Basanti' ‘Khoya Khoya Chand' and the recent ‘Mumbai Meri Jaan'.

She can be super hot too, a proved by the Maxim cover and spread some months back. She's also looked cute in her ad campaigns!

And yeah she's well educated too with a good background in banking.

Why not? After all, she's former cricket captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi as well as the original sexpot Sharmila Tagore's genes.

But since she's not running the mad race to make it to the top, maybe people tend to not notice her much in the world of the publicity hungry Katrinas, Kanganas and the Priyankas who can do just about anything and everything for stardom.

And she's not out going like her brother Saif who loves to flaunt his love life with Kareena and his recent successes too. No one's sure whether Soha is currently with or has broken up with alleged boyfriend, Southern star Siddharth!

This girl deserves to be wished on her big day. Here's wishing Soha a very happy birthday today (October 4th)and a long career in filmdom.

Hope that she continues to enthrall the audiences who appreciate intelligent cinema (if not lovers of commercial flicks) with her upcoming flicks ‘Dhoondte Reh Jaoge', ‘Tera Kya Hoga Johnny', ‘99', ‘Mumbai Cutting' and ‘Dil kabbadi'!
