Sara Ali Khan has often called herself the “most kanjoo celebrity of all time.”
Sara Ali Khan reveals that her ‘namaste darshakon’ girl image wouldn’t have helped sell Ae Watan Mere Watan. She adds that people don’t know who she really is.
After a few years of acting career, Sara Ali Khan has become synonymous with a “middle class” girl. She has often called herself the “most kanjoo celebrity of all time” and her middle-class relationship with money often makes her the subject of many meme festivals. While her honesty about living a frugal lifestyle has made her stand out from the crowd, many on social media have also criticized her for trying too hard to push this image.
Sara, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming patriotic film, Ae Watan Mere Watan, recently spoke to News18 Showsha, where she shared that although she has made people realize that she is a fun, cheerful and normal girl, “crutches” like This will not help her promote the film. “As an actor, this is a genre I have never done. So now I don’t have the crutch of being the ‘namaste darshakon’ girl, the prankster ‘knock knock’ girl, the girl with abs or the happy, sassy girl who just says what she thinks. My sasti juttis are not going to help here,” she said with characteristic directness of hers.
Sara has become a paparazzi favorite over the years due to her relatable antics and her outspoken behavior has earned the adoration of many fans. But for Ae Watan Mere Watan, she had to channel a different streak. While she was talking about the same, she revealed that she has an introverted side that people don’t see and that often ‘fun girl Sara’ takes priority over him.
“There was a totally different level of self-confidence, self-belief and almost sattvic positivity that I had to bring, which is part of my personality anyway. But people don’t see that. I also meditate. You will only see me rhyming but not that. So, yes, I got to bring that to the screen for the first time, which is magnificent,” she stated.
However, being part of a story like Ae Watan Mere Watan, which is inspired by true events, gave him a feeling of pride. When asked about the same, she said, “He did it, 150 percent on all levels! As a human being, I am proud to be able to tell the story of an integral part of the Quit India movement. I realize that I can’t always change the world. It’s about how little I can do. Nowadays, people are reluctant to do absolutely anything because they think, ‘Arrey, hum kya hi kar lenge!’ But kuch toh kar lo. Boond boond se banta hai sagar. That’s the whole point.”
With the film and her role as a young freedom fighter, she also aims for young women to be the wind beneath their own wings. “As a woman today in our country, I also hope to inspire women to be strong and have the self-confidence to go out and make their dreams come true. I have been inspired by that process,” she remarked.
Ae Watan Mere Watan will premiere on Prime Video on March 21.
