Sharmila Tagore was a voice of reason for all of us: Sara Ali Khan

Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan was earlier rumoured to have been dating Bollywood actor Aditya Roy Kapur in May 2024. There is however no concrete confirmation in this regard. In a recent interview with Filmfare, Sara mentioned that her grandmother Bollywood actress Sharmila Tagore gave her good relationship advice. “My grandmother is my only living grandparent. She is the voice of reason for all of us. And I think that when things get hard, which they did in my life in 2020, a period of time that was not very good for me, my daddy was there for me, all guns blazing. And she’s there for my mom and brother. Of course, she’s there for my father as well. She connects me to my traditional roots. She is also the voice of modernity. She also gives me good advice when it comes to boys, films, and social life. She’s a champion,” Sara mentioned.

Sara also addressed the topic of trolling on social media which actors have to face. Sara had faced backlash for posting a video wherein she threw a domestic staff of her house into a pool as a prank. “I think you have to have an inner conviction because everybody is going to try to drag you down, especially if you give them the opportunity to. First, just be grateful. Practising gratitude helps because it could always be worse than it is...it’s always about the way you look at things. Even if I’m being trolled, for instance, I tell myself that at least they’re talking about me. Imagine being irrelevant. For an actor, that’s death. So always look at it in such a way that you can tell yourself it could have been worse,” Sara remarked.
