On the show, 'Starry Nights Gen Y', Sara Ali Khan talked about her equation with her father, Saif Ali Khan’s second wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan and revealed the one trait she wants to imbibe from her.
There are more than a thousand of stories depicting how evil stepparents are, be it Cinderella or Snow White. And because of the myth that stepparents are wicked and cruel, in reality, it gets difficult for them to bond with their stepchildren. Contrary to the belief that stepmothers are usually as evil as Cinderella’s stepmom, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Sara Ali Khan had redefined the concept of a modern family, defying the stereotype.

Take any interview of Kareena Kapoor Khan or Sara Ali Khan, they leave no opportunity to express the beautiful bond that they share and how much they admire each other. From hugging each other, posing for family photographs as they spend festivals together to Sara revealing how her mom, Amrita Singh had dressed her up for her dad, Saif Ali Khan’s second wedding, the fans have always been in awe of the family equation that the Pataudis share.
On the show, Starry Nights Gen Y, Sara Ali Khan revealed that she never believed she grew up in a family of stars and nor does she consider herself as one. She has stated, "My parents are actors, but I don't think I have been grown up in the family of stars. Father, for instance, dad has always been very particular about education and my mother is the flag-bearer of humility. She so believes putting your head down and letting your work speak for yourself. I never had much exposure to Bollywood. I don't really think I come from a family of stars. I don't look at myself as a star."
When asked about her equation with her father, Saif Ali Khan’s second wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sara Ali Khan remarked, "I admire Kareena Kapoor and her work. She's a professional who always gives preference to work. Her style of working is something I would want to imbibe from her." Recalling an incident from her childhood when she was ‘almost suspended’ from school, Sara Ali Khan narrated, "I was a mischievous student in school who played pranks on everyone. One of the pranks I remember was dropping glue on the fan blades which spilled all over the class when switched on. I almost got suspended for this because my principal kept asking why I did this, and I had no answer to it."

Post her first two film releases, Kedarnath and Simmba, Sara Ali Khan had revealed her admiration for her stepmother, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s character, Poo from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. During her interview on Famously Filmfare, Sara, who is a major fan of Kareena's character Poo could not control her excitement over having Bebo as her stepmother. In a short clip from the interview, Sara had asked the interviewer to say it again that ‘Poo is your stepmother.’ Sara had gushed with a big laugh, “Can you imagine! Say that again!... Yaa!! I do.” She had continued, “People tell me you’ve willed this to happen. You have been such a die-hard Kareena fan that you have willed her into your life and this is what you get.”
In an interview with the Mumbai Mirror, Kareena Kapoor Khan had given her stepdaughter, Sara Ali Khan the sweetest compliment and had said, “Sara is a rare combination of beauty and brains and that has happened to the Indian film industry after a long time. She can hold a conversation with anyone and at the same time give a shot in which she’s looking absolutely gorgeous. She has all it takes and I think she will be one of the brightest stars on the screen. I can only hope and pray for the best for her.”
Did you know that Sara Ali Khan was in a sheer dilemma about the name by which she should address her stepmom, Kareena Kapoor Khan? Revealing the same on Koffee With Karan, the 24-year-old starlet had shared, “I think Kareena would probably have a nervous breakdown if I was going to call her, 'Choti Ma'. She would be like, 'No!' I used to be like, 'What should I call her? Kareena, Kareena aunty' My father's like 'You don't want to call her aunty. So you can call her 'K' or 'Kareena’.” (Also Read: Taimur Ali Khan Shows Off His Mumbaikar Side As He Screams 'Aye Bhai Log' To Paparazzi, Video Inside)
