New Delhi: Sara Ali Khan despite being a star kid is known for her humility and lack of starry tantrums. Besides, she is someone who not only adds spark to screen with her personality but also does complete justice to her role being a hard worker.

Her roles in Simmba, Kedarnath, Love Aaj Kal 2 are proof enough that she’s here to stay.

While Sara might be developing her own style in acting independent of her father Saif Ali Khan and mother Amrita Singh’s influences, her beliefs and personality have been shaped by her parents.

On Zee Cafe’s Starry Night Gen Y, in a chat with Komal Nahta Sara shares how her mother and father made her what she’s today.

“While my father is very particular about education, I believe my mother is like the flagbearer of humility. She believes in putting your head down and letting your work speak for itself,” said Sara Ali Khan on being brought up by actor parents.

When quizzed about the role of education in an actor’s life, Sara Ali Khan says, “Your education makes you who you are. It gives you confidence, eloquence and most importantly perspective. You have to learn, unlearn and keep growing. That is the only way.”

On being asked of her one superior quality as compared to her mother, Sara Ali Khan shares, “I am better than my mom in studies. For her 10th maths board exam, she attempted zero questions and signed off as ‘Love, Amrita Singh’ and left.”

Sara also admires Kareena’s work ethics and is keen to learn from her as far as her profession goes.

“Kareena Kapoor always puts her work first and If there was something, I would like to imbibe from her, it would be her professionalism,” says Sara Ali Khan.

Accompanying Sara on the show will be her Love Aaj Kal 2 producer Dinesh Vijan who’s all praises for her vivacious personality.

“I think among her generation, she is the most intelligent girl. Having studied in Colombia, she is aware of everything that is happening, she has a take on everything and most importantly she understands not just social media but every aspect of how it works.”

On being questioned about one quality that Sara has to change about herself, Dinesh Vijan says, “She is constantly on fire. Her mind is constantly thinking. Everybody knows that she is here for the long haul, it’s just that even she should know that about herself.”

Sara Ali Khan is known to be quite vocal and outspoken about current global affairs which makes her a great conversationalist. Dinesh Vajan says, “I enjoy bonding with Sara over intelligent conversations. The basis of every conversation with her makes a lot of sense though she might get a tad hyper at times.”

The episode will air on Zee Cafe on Sunday, April 26, 2020, at 10 PM.
