Sara Ali Khan loves to talk nineteen to two thousands. She'll speak and speak and then realise she has meandered far and away from your intended question. She loves to tell stories, regaling you with anecdotes from her various journeys. She's a foodie who doesn't mind gorging on a plate of hot parathas from a dhaba off the highway, something her more snobbish colleagues would look down on. She loves to wear Indian clothes, making a style statement out of a simple salwar suit. She's a natural in front of the camera and loves to throw herself in her role. She doesn't hesitate displaying raw, edgy emotions on screen and says what comes to her mind off screen. She's truly her mother's daughter in that regard. Presenting excerpts from a talkathon with the bubbly actor.
What attracted you to Gaslight, a suspense thriller?
As an actor, I love new challenges. On the first day of my promotion of Gaslight, many journalists said, “We didn’t expect you to be like this”; that’s a victory in itself. You know Sara by now. You know what she likes; you know her jokes; you know what foods she likes; you know this and that. But in a film, as a character, I never want you to be able to predict her. I want to be able to do everything. I have a lot of energy. I am a bubbly girl. I am a high-spirited girl. So agar aap mujhe aisa kirdar doge, who is in a wheelchair, who can’t move her lower body, it will be so exciting and challenging for me.
