Living with a single mother, actor Sara Ali Khan says, shaped her life where she realised at an early age that she has to be the “mover and initiator” of her life, never being dependent on anyone. Sara is the daughter of Saif Ali Khan and his first wife, Amrita Singh. Saif and Amrita were married for 13 years and parted ways in 2004.
In an interview with ETimes, Sara was asked about the influence of strong women in her life, where she opened up about growing up with a single parent and it was instrumental in how she is today.
“I think living with a single mother has a huge role to play in it. At a very early age, I realised koi aapke liye kuchh karne nahi wala (nobody is going to do anything for you). It’s not that I don’t get help, I do. But ultimately, you are the mover and initiator of your life. If you are lucky, stars align and God wills, then it will happen. You can’t be waiting around for things to happen, it doesn’t work like that,” she added.
The actor has a packed March with two streaming releases– Netflix’s Murder Mubarak and Prime Video’s Ae Watan Mere Watan, based on the life of freedom fighter Usha Mehta. In the film, Sara plays a young girl who starts an underground radio station to spread the message of unity during the Quit India movement.
The film, directed by Kannan Iyer and also featuring Emraan Hashmi in a guest appearance, is backed by Karan Johar and is set to release on March 21.
