However, Sara wasn’t the fit and fabulous types from the beginning. The actress had weight issues which never really affected her confidence but became the biggest hurdle – to achieve her only dream of becoming an actor. In an interview with SpotboyE.com, Sara revealed her transformation story from flabby 96 kg girl to hot fashionista setting trends. The actress said, “I was 96 kg at the time when I told my mother, sitting on the bed crying and saying, ‘Mom, all I want to do is become an actor.’ Then, she said that you need to lose weight. And, it took me about a year-and-half to lose that weight. So, I completed the remaining two years of my graduation in a year so that I can return and start working early.”
She further added, “I was always a chubby girl, but after going to the States, for the first two years, I put on a lot of weight and then last year, I burned all those kilos there itself. I think America is the place where you can really choose. Jahaan aapko pizza milta hain, wahin aapko protein milta hain. Jahaan pe chocolate milta hain, wahin aapko salad milta hain. That was it. So, I lost all the weight that I had gained there and lots more by working out and maintaining a disciplined life." You go girl!

When asked if she sent the pictures of her shedding weight back home, Sara said, “I didn't. September was the start of the semester and December was the end. In those 4 months, I even refrained from face-timing her. And, she recognised me at the airport only because of my suitcases; I was looking completely different. Obviously, 30 kg down, you ARE going to look different.”
Sara is also known for her compassionate gestures. As just before the release of her debut film Kedarnath, she had sent handwritten letters to the paparazzi, thanking them for always being warm towards her even before the release for her first film. In the note, she further praised them for clicking such wonderful pictures of her and always putting the wonderful captions for it. She also invited them for a cuppa coffee before her debut film hits the screen. (Also Read: Sara Ali Khan Was Gifted A Taimur Doll During 'Kedarnath' Promotions, Her Reaction Is Priceless)
The handwritten note was shared on the Instagram handle of a leading paparazzo, Viral Bhayani and captioned it, “Koffee with #saraalikhan”. He further wrote, “She is old school, man. She wrote this letter herself and sent it out to the photographers. She is taking us out for coffee. Wow, no one writes letters anymore unless it is addressed to the BMC. And a letter without emojis appreciated.” Check it out here:
Well, Sara’s dedication and will to achieve her dream is finally paying off. She is looking like an ultimate fashionmonger!
