Sara Ali Khan is currently making hurls on the internet with her work in the song chaka chak. However, while we now love the actress for her beauty and grace, recently talked about her weight loss, and how her mother played instrumental with her advices in her life.
Talking to Rj Siddharth Kannan, Sara Ali Khan shared that how her mother Amrita Singh advised her to lose weight before entering the industry, saying, “Jab main bahut healthy thi, unhone mujhe kaha ke ‘behen Tun Tun ka zamana gaya. Toh agar aapko actor banna hai toh you know…’ (When I was healthy, she told me ‘listen, the era of Tun Tun has gone. If you want to be an actor, you know…’).”
She added, further “With no, body shame involved, she did tell me that I have to be healthier in the other way, the real way. I have to slim down for my own sake also. It was not just the vanity thing; it was also the health thing. That was the time she showed me the mirror.”
She also spoke about her mother’s advice on when Love Aaj Kal failed, saying “If they (the audiences) don’t like your work, then you’re doing it wrong.” Sara concluded by saying that these were the two turning points in my career and her mom was there, “to hold my hand but intellectually to get me to go again.” as quoted by Koi Moi.
