Sensational diva, Suhana Khan recently graced a launch event with her presence. Let us tell you that it was the launch of actress, Koel Purie’s book, ‘Invisible in Paris’ and Suhana Khan was invited as a solo chief guest at the event. During the event, Suhana confessed how she relates to one of the book’s characters and shared how she felt about leaving home at the age of 15.

For the unversed, Suhana Khan went to New York and the UK to pursue her higher studies. It was a bit distressful feeling for Suhana to leave her home at such as young age. However, Suhana disclosed that life overseas has given her some good friendships, associations and hence a homely atmosphere. She further shared that home leaving came as a cultural shock for her. Recalling her immigrant story, Suhana Khan said:

“I wouldn’t call myself an immigrant and all, I went there to study. I left home when I was 15 for boarding school, so I think that was scary because it was definitely a culture shock and I think it took me a while to feel at home and when I did it was because of the people there and how their friendship, their love made me feel seen when I felt invisible.”
