Actor Sara Ali Khan is often seen talking about the Pataudi clan. The actor recently opened up about starring in her grandmother-actor Shamila Tagore’s biopic. During her appearance on Roposo Live, a fan asked if she could play Sharmila on screen. To which Sara replied, ‘She's so graceful. I don't know if I'm graceful.’  

‘I speak to badi amma quite a lot, but I don't think I've actually spent much time speaking to her about her career as such. There are so many other things. She's so well-read, interested in current events, and has a great sense of general knowledge. She's such a classy lady and she's had such a life. She has world views and we've spent so much more time talking about that than actually her craft, which I think I should’, she added. 

The actor also expressed her wish to have a career graph similar to her contemporary Alia Bhatt

She said, ‘This is not a novel answer. Everybody expects it. Everyone on this live show is going to be like ‘oh she’s going to say Alia Bhatt’ but yeah. She did a Karan Johar film and a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film simultaneously. Any of you that know what I want even a little bit, know that’s the answer- If you can be Gangu (Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi) and Rani (KJo’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani) at the same time, then that’s (she made a face expressing amazement). I saw ‘Student of the Year’ and ‘Highway’ in the span of two years and that’s amazing.’ 

On the work front, Sara Ali Khan will be next seen in Laxman Utekar’s untitled film, co-starring Vicky Kaushal
