Debutant Sara Ali Khan has already taken movie buffs off guard with her exceptional performance in Kedarnath. While she’s gearing up for her next biggie Simmba, the actress revealed how it was a touching moment when grandmother Sharmila Tagore messaged her mother Amrita Singh about her performance.
In an interview with DNA, Sara said, “Dadi is extremely proud. She is getting a lot of messages from people and she messaged mom which was a big one for me. I think dadi messaging mom, after you know… life, that we have, that was really something. That’s amazing. If as a character, you can bring audiences together and as an individual you can bring your family together for 30 seconds also, that’s something.”
Earlier in an interview with IANS, Sharmila had shared her excitement about Sara’s debut the film as well as her bold and courageous debut on Koffee With Karan. “Yes, I am so excited about her debut (in the film Kedarnath). I am very impressed by her… though I don’t see why her self-confidence should surprise me. But whether it was Koffee With Karan, Rajeev Masand, BBC…her confidence, humility and charm made me so happy… it’s so heartwarming to see her the way she has turned out. When asked what she’s doing in films after going to Columbia University she said the education was for her growth as a person and not for career. She’s never tongue-tied. And how well she stood up for her father on Karan Johar’s show. I am really proud of her”, said the veteran actress.
