Sara Ali Khan disagreed with Janhvi Kapoor’s statement that she is yet to receive respect. Sara said that she ‘doesn’t feel under-respected at all.’
‘I don’t feel under-respected at all. I think I have been given a lot of respect. I think for me, if you accept me for who I am, that’s the biggest sign of respect and touchwood, I got that very early in my career. I think from the very beginning I got respect,’ Sara said in an interview to Siddharth Kannan.
Sara also added that Janhvi could have meant that she still has to prove herself as an actor. ‘Maybe what Janhvi could have meant, maybe as an actor one still has to prove themselves. But even then, whether it’s Kedarnath or Atrangi, I read the reviews I was given. I don’t think respect has been a problem for me,’ Sara said.
At We The Women event, Janhvi had said, ‘Somewhere it comes down to the line that ‘mujhe mauke bohot mile hai, par izzat abhi tak nahi mila (I have gotten many offers but haven't gotten respect)’ and I think that’s what I am working for, in my own eyes. It takes a lot to build perception and then break it.’
Sara will next be seen in 'Gaslight' alongside Vikrant Massey and Chitrangda Singh.
