SINCE she will be exchanging places soon-the interviewee will become the interviewer-we ask actor Soha Ali Khan what she considers the best ice-breaker. "I crack a lot of goofy jokes," she says.

"But it is always better to not cold-start with questions. Maybe gauge the mood of a person?" We take note and improvise. "So, how have you been?" we ask. Khan gives a hearty laugh. "Good one." The actor, who was last seen in the role of an evil witch in the horror-drama Chhorii 2 (2025), has launched All About Her, a podcast where she brings together both celebrities and experts to talk about women's bodies and the changes they undergo with age. The guest list includes Malaika Arora, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Smriti Irani, Patralekhaa, and Sunny Leone, amongst others. For Khan, the idea came from a personal space, "I turned 45 and things started happening," she shares. "There were changes in my body, in my hormones, my hair, my skin, my mind, my work, my family, and my marriage. I realised I could use some help. So, I made a list of 10 experts that I wanted to consult with, ranging from a therapist to a nutritionist to a gynaecologist to a hormone expert.

And I felt that I wanted to share what I learnt."
