Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan, who debuted back in 2018 with the movie Kedarnath, had once spoken to the BBC about the ease of access and the big privilege ‘star kids’ receive in Bollywood. Ali Khan has starred in movies like Atrangi Re, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, and Murder Mubarak. She is the daughter of actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh and has often been at the center of debates on nepotism.

Back in 2018, before she debuted in Bollywood, Ali Khan spoke about being an ‘insider’ in the film industry. When asked about the perks she has as an insider, Ali Khan said, “The main perk is access. I could go to Rohit (Shetty) sir’s office and ask him to consider me for Simmba. The access that my parents worked so hard to enable me to have is not something I deny. Having said that, the tonality of conversation around nepotism has become hard back home. While star kids, as much as I hate that term, do have it easier in this line. If you’re not good, you won’t get a second film.”

When the interviewer pointed out that she got a second film even before her first release, Ali Khan said, “You’re right. I’m shocked, and I carry that burden. I’m done shooting for two films without anyone seeing my first one. I’m aware this will be seen by many as an unearned opportunity. Forget anyone; I now have to prove to myself that I’m worth this. I’m aware I got this opportunity easier than others.”

For those who don’t know, Sara Ali Khan shot for Kedarnath and Simmba even before her first release hit the big screens. Both these movies hit theaters within three weeks of each other.

On the work front, Sara Ali Khan was last seen in the period drama Ae Watan Mere Watan, which was released on Prime Video India. It received lukewarm reviews. She will soon star in Metro…In Dino, Sky Force, and Eagle.
