Acting lets you forget who you are: Sara Ali Khan
Actor Sara Ali Khan, who wooed fans with her radiating presence in the films Kedarnath and Simmba last year, says she wants to do “everything” on screen. “(I would like to do ) everything! Having done Kedarnath and
Simmba, and having experienced the different opportunities and demands these films came with, I know I love them both equally. I would love to work on a period film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, I would love to do an urban relatable film, romantic comedies, commercial masala movies,” Sara says.
Sharing her Bollywood experience so far, Sara, daughter of actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, said acting “enabled me to feel and do things that I don’t feel or do on a daily basis”.
“The most exciting thing is that you forget who you are, between action and cut. You attempt to do justice to somebody else’s life, and you become that,” she adds.
Reminiscing about her time while shooting for Kedarnath, Sara says, “The character was written so beautifully and it was wonderfully nuanced. There are some projects you just want to be part of instantly, and after hearing its narration, I couldn’t imagine not playing Mukku. For a debutant who hasn’t trained in acting, conviction in a script and the curiosity and excitement to essay a character is most important, since that’s the clutch that enables you to perform. I am thankful to Kanika Dhillon (writer of Kedarnath) for writing this character that will always stay dear to me,” she says.
