In a recent interview, Sara Ali Khan opened up about how her mother, Amrita Singh asked her to lose weight.
“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…’). 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 told RJ Siddharth Kannan in an interview.
Sara Ali Khan also had another chat with her mother when Love Aaj Kal didn’t work well in theatres.
“I think that even when Love Aaj Kal didn’t work, she showed me the mirror and said, ‘Look, I am your mother, your team is your team but you make films for the audiences. Agar janta ko aapka kaam acha nahi lag raha toh aap galat jaa rahi hai (If audiences don’t like your work then you’re going wrong).’ That was another time she showed me the mirror,” she said.
