In an industry where relationships often flicker and fade, the decade-long friendship between Neha Dhupia and Soha Ali Khan is a refreshing exception. In a heartwarming chat, the duo opened up about their bond, shared unseen moments from Neha’s secret wedding, and revealed how their husbands, Angad Bedi and Kunal Khemu, have also built a strong connection.
From fainting on Kunal at a restaurant to heartfelt marriage advice, their candid conversation gave a warm glimpse into their personal lives and deep-rooted connection.

In a candid chat with The Hollywood Reporter India, Neha revealed that the two men are each other's sounding boards.
She also recalled how Soha Ali Khan once shared a piece of advice with her that has stayed, saying, "When I got married, Soha told me, ‘Remember men have really fragile egos. So watch what you say’."
Soha went on to explain, "My mother told me that a woman should look after a man’s ego and a man should look after a woman’s emotions. If you're able to do that, you'll have a long relationship. Of course, today, people may say women also have egos and men also have emotions, and that’s valid. But I think it was advice given with good intent. Marriages are challenging, and it's comforting to have friends to lean on."

Neha also shared that she didn’t initially tell Soha about her wedding to Angad. It was Soha’s mother, a friend of Angad’s parents, who received the wedding invitation, much to Soha's surprise.
In the same interview, Neha also shared that since she got married to Angad after she got pregnant, people around them questioned their intentions.
“You are always questioned that ‘are you together because this happened or you genuinely want to be together?’ It worked out well. There’s no other way I would want it,” she said.
Neha and Angad got married in May 2018 and welcomed their daughter Mehr in November. They are parents to 7-year-old daughter Mehr and 3-year-old son Guriq. The couple often shares glimpses of their family life on social media.
Soha, meanwhile, is married to actor Kunal Khemu, and the couple shares a daughter, Inaaya.
