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."

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)
