Her genepool is rich and lush. Granddaughter of ace cricketer, the late Nawab of Pataudi and the renowned Sharmila Tagore. Daughter of the suave Saif Ali Khan and the spunky Amrita Singh. Sara Ali Khan has an ancestry rare and privileged. To her royal sensibilities, she brings in self-awareness. An early realisation that not only is she to the manor born but she is also to the manner born. A degree in law and political science at the Columbia University in New York in 2016, was a follow-up to the nerd that she is. But her dreamy romance with razzmatazz had begun way before her ardour for books got legitimised. And that ‘first love’ could no longer be denied. Her countdown to fame kick-started when the scale dipped from a whopping 96 kilos to a svelte 55. The delay in her debut vehicle Kedarnath was a blessing of sorts. Because December 2018, showcased Sara scaling the extremes of the spectrum within a matter of days. If Kedarnath had viewers swept by her prodigious histrionics, Simmba serenaded her as the masala queen. Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal 2 opposite ‘crush’ Kartik Aaryan promises to woo the beauteous Sara all set to surrender. Aristocracy may be her inheritance, her ambition is her own. Here’s celebrating the princess who’s now ready to sway the showbiz court…

While Kedarnath revolved around you, your presence in Simmba was limited. So, what attracts you to a film?
