Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s daughter Sara Ali Khan has been making headlines for some time. She recently made her big screen debut with Kedarnath opposite Sushant Singh Rajput, with critics praising her work. She is now gearing up for her second film, Simbaa that releases today.
In a recent interview, the actress spoke about being labeled a ‘star kid’, Ranveer Singh (her co-star in Simbaa), Pakistan and much more…
“Ranveer is the most talented person I have ever met,” Sara expressed. “His energy on the sets is so contagious that you cannot afford to not give your fullest. That’s the only option he gives you as a co-star.”
When asked if she followed cinema or fashion in Pakistan where she has a huge fan following, Sara responded, “I don’t know much about the country itself but a lot of my family members live in Pakistan. Their culture, their fashion, their talaffuz, their khanay ka zaiqa and the way they conduct themselves is identical with ours. Our tehzeeb is the same so I don’t find it any different than the way we conduct ourselves.”
Among other things, Sara also spoke about being called a ‘star kid’ and not growing up as privileged as your garden variety star-kid. She shared that her upbringing was very different altogether.
“My parents, as you know, don’t live together and I have mostly lived with my mother,” she added. “After my birth, she has not been doing many mainstream films. My father on the other hand is a stickler for politics, reading, history and arts. His interests are inclined towards different things. So, I never deny that I come from a film family but I will object if one says that meri parwarish waisay hui hai (I was brought up like a star kid).”
