"I’m trying not to sound wrong, but I’m trying to be honest also, the more grateful I am for the upbringing that I’ve had.

Going further in the interview, Sara Ali Khan talked about her experience of being papped even before her first film, Kedarnath hit the silver screen. Talking more about the same, Sara said that she wanted not to be rude to the paps and was trying to strike a balance, but she didn't like to be photographed before making a name in the industry. Sara mentioned that she always knew that her parents were actors, but she was not famous, so she couldn't understand the concept of being papped. Sharing that all of these happened before the nepotism debate began, Sara stated:
"I was trying to strike the balance between being rude to them (paparazzi) because I didn’t want to be, but also not being photographed because what have I really done to be here? Like why am I being photographed? And all this happened before the whole nepotism chapter and chatter had started like a year into my work. I myself had started feeling that yes my mother is an artist, my father is an actor, but I am not, so why are they behind me? I am really grateful that I kind of grew up thinking like that because now when they photograph me, I have a very good equation with them because somewhere I think I’ve earned it.”

"Radhika Madan, Janhvi Kapoor, and Ananya Pandey are friends I made at work. I was not like, ‘Oh, our parents have been actors previously’, so now we have special pani puri together. That was not the vibe at all.”
Speaking along the same lines, Sara stated that for years, she didn't have any personal security around her to help her with stuff, and she didn't grow up like this.

"Mom was very certain that she wanted us to have a full life external to the films."
