Sara Ali Khan is the granddaughter of veteran actress Sharmila Tagore. The Kedarnath actress recently spoke about her grandmother's legacy, the films that she was known for, and how she's the first star in her opinion.
In an interview with
The Times of India, Khan said, "I'm very lucky to have a grandmother like her because she is very warm. She is amazing. She epitomises dignity and grace. And she's also an extremely maternal and loving grandmother."
She added, "If I watch âAradhana', and âMere Sapno ki Rani', I'm like, Oh my God, that's my dadi! Like, are you serious? Because she's just superb, you know, she's a star. I think she's the first star in my opinion. So sometimes it's almost confusing for me, like, really that lady is my grandmother! You know, it's weird. It is very strange. But, I mean, she's amazing. And I'm very lucky to have her in my life."
Not only Sharmila Tagore, Sara Ali Khan also talked about her brother Ibrahim Ali Khan recently and about his much-talked about Bollywood debut. She said, "My only tip to him would be to just be an all-rounded human being. You know, I think that films are a beautiful business and he would be lucky to enter this world."
She added, "And if he needs advice in terms of acting or anything like that he has many people in the family also to turn to there are much bigger actors and stars and you know, much more experienced than I am."
Sara Ali Khan's latest release was the remake of Coolie No. 1 alongside Varun Dhawan. Directed by David Dhawan, who also directed the original movie, Varun and Sara's Coolie No. 1 also features Paresh Rawal, Javed Jaffrey, Sahil Vaid, Manoj Joshi, and was released on December 25, 2020.
