In an interview with Galatta India, Sara Ali Khan yet again opened up about her mother, Amrita Singh's role in her life. For the unversed, post her divorce from Saif Ali Khan, Amrita used to single-handedly take care of their kids, Sara and Ibrahim.

However, in the same conversation, Sara also mentioned how until one day, when her mother gave a sassy answer to it, she stopped feeling the same. She recalled that Amrita had one such day turned up and told Sara to compare her mother with other parents. Elaborating on Amrita's sassy answer to Sara, the doting daughter mentioned how she never again questioned the Mard actress ever after that. For the unknown, Amrita appeared in the film, Mard, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan, which became a blockbuster hit after its release on November 8, 1985. Sara added:
"So I used to feel very bad. Till one day she turned around and said, ‘how many of your friend’s parents know how to act and ride horses? Because I do’. And I was like, I am literally never saying anything to the heroine of Mard ever again."
Further, Sara quipped that her loving mommy, Amrita took care of everything single-handedly. However, the Ae Watan Mere Watan actress also mentioned how strong her mother is. Amrita was the one who kept her and her brother, Ibrahim, grounded. But the doting mother also gave them wings to fly. Explaining the same, Sara shared how Amrita never made them feel lacking anything during their growing years.

Earlier, in an interview with ETimes, Sara had revealed how she realised very early in her life that she needed to make her foot strong on her own. She revealed how growing up with a single mom made her quite strong, and thus, she could easily find the initiation within herself. She shared:
"Living with a single mother has a huge role to play with it. At a very early age, I realised that koi aapke liye kuch karne nahi wala. Karenge but you are the mover, people will help you and the initiation has to come with you. If you're lucky, the stars align, and with God's will you get everything, but that initiation has to be with you. You can't be waiting around for it, it doesn't work like that."
Well, we are startled by Amrita's sassy answer to her daughter, Sara when the latter was unhappy about the former's cooking skills. What about you? Let us know!
