Sara Ali Khan opened up about facing scrutiny and query when it comes to her surname and family legacy.
Sara Ali Khan is one of the most talented actresses in Bollywood of her generation. Despite being the daughter of famous actors and ex-couple, Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, she has paved her way to incredible stardom and fame through her own merit. She debuted in Bollywood with the film, Kedarnath, opposite the late actor, Sushant Singh Rajput. Ever since, Sara hasn’t ever looked back on the career front. Apart from her professional success, Sara wins the hearts of zillions of audiences with her bubbly personality and chatty banter.
In a recent interaction with Galatta India, Sara Ali Khan opened up about facing constant scrutiny about her surname and remarked that it is something which she would never debate over or defend for. Sara claimed to have been raised in a secular family in a country, which respects all religious faiths. Adding how her personal life choices are something which she wouldn’t apologise for, she said:
“I was born to a secular family, in a sovereign, secular, democratic republic. The spirit of standing up against what is wrong is within me. So, if I see it happening to not just me, but anybody around me, I will stand up. My religious beliefs, my food choices, how I decide to go to the airport, that’s my decision, and I’ll never apologise for that.”

Earlier, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, Sara Ali Khan revealed that she used to get bothered when she found out that many other actresses began to copy her fashion statements and wore simple Indian outfits and no makeup for her airport looks. Sharing how all of it is not a gimmick but her true self, Sara said:
“It used to bother me when I used to think that I was being copied. Like this whole namaste, it’s not like an act. I genuinely greet people like that and suddenly it became a template that every girl was doing. This wearing Indian clothes at the airport and going with wet hair and all like it used to irritate me when other girls used to do it.”
Previously, while speaking to BollywoodLife, Sara Ali Khan recalled the phase in her career when quite a few of her films underperformed at the box office. She narrated how it impacted her equations with different members from the film fraternity, as they started to treat her differently than earlier. Sara stated that while earlier, these people were quite eager to speak with her at dinner parties, the very same people changed their behaviour and she was ignored at such parties.

In an older interview with Vogue, Sara Ali Khan revealed that she doesn’t own any single piece of expensive or designer clothing in her wardrobe. She discussed the bridge between what she appears on camera and what she actually is, and added that she prefers being her honest self, rather than wearing costly outfits. In her words:
“Whether it’s going to the airport with freshly washed hair and not doing my hair and make-up unless it’s absolutely necessary, I really am who I amI wear my honesty with more pride than any designer clothes. In fact, I don’t have a single pair of designer clothing in my wardrobe.”
