As Sharmila Tagore turns 78 on Thursday, her grand daughter and actress Sara Ali Khan penned a note for her saying that she aspires to be 1/10th the woman the veteran star is.

Sara, on Thursday afternoon, took to Instagram, where she shared a collage of pictures. The first is a throwback picture of Sharmila`s younger days while she holds little Sara. The second image has a grown up Sara hugging her "badi amma".
