Sara Ali Khan, a prominent figure in Bollywood and the daughter of the celebrated former actor couple Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, has carved a niche for herself in the film industry. Making her debut in 2018 with the film “Kedarnath,” Sara continues to grow in her craft and aspires to one day be at least “half the actor” her parents are, who have left an indelible mark on Indian cinema.
Sara recently shared her admiration for her father, the seasoned actor Saif Ali Khan, who has consistently impressed audiences with his versatile performances. While she hasn’t yet watched his latest film, “Devara: Part 1,” her unwavering confidence in his talent remains unchanged. “I love my father and I am sure he has done a fantastic job in ‘Devara.’ His dedication and passion for his art inspire me every day. I really admire him and his work so much. I hope that one day I can be half the actor my parents are,” she expressed during a group interview conducted on the sidelines of a recent event.
In addition to her acting career, Sara has also taken on the mantle of being the brand ambassador for Sofy sanitary pads, using her platform to advocate for the destigmatization of menstruation and related health issues. “As a woman, I feel it is crucial to provide comfort to other women. Menstrual health has long been stigmatized with taboos such as ‘hiding pads, not discussing periods, or giving pads in black covers’. It’s time for such stigmas to diminish,” she highlighted. Sara ardently believes in the power of open conversations about periods, mental health, and physical hygiene problems, emphasizing that brands like Sofy play a pivotal role in empowering women by fostering these discussions.
Sara’s commitment to health advocacy is personal—she has been transparent about her struggles with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and obesity. At the age of 29, she has become a beacon of hope and understanding for many women facing similar challenges.
. She recounts how many women have approached her, expressing gratitude for her openness about weight, stress, and PCOS. “I think these issues are so normal, and I just don’t understand why more people don’t talk about them. If I can make anybody feel ‘understood,’ then that’s the beginning of progress. Most of these problems become more manageable when someone acknowledges that ‘Hey, it’s my problem too’—it helps one feel better instantly. If I can make that difference, then why wouldn’t I?” she shared.
Looking forward, Sara is set to captivate audiences once more as she teams up on screen with Ayushmann Khurrana, an actor known for his choice of offbeat and socially relevant scripts. As she continues to evolve and expand her filmography, Sara’s journey reflects her determination not only to meet the acting standards set by her family but also to utilize her influence for meaningful causes.
Moreover, her efforts to bring awareness to issues often hushed in society put her in the spotlight not only as an actor but also as a socially responsible public figure. Balancing her acting career with advocacy, Sara Ali Khan proves to be a multifaceted personality, constantly striving to make a difference both on screen and off. Her admiration for her parents sets a high bar, and she remains steadfast in her pursuit to possibly reach, or even transcend, those heights in her own unique way.
