Newcomer Sara Ali Khan Speaks About the Advantages a Star-Kid Gets in Bollywood

The audiences are yet to see Sara Ali Khan's performance, as her debut movie is slated to release on 7th December 2018. However, that made no difference to the love she receives on social media. In about three months, Sara's new Instagram account garnered more than 1Million followers.

Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan's daughter will be the 3rd generation actor from the Pataudi family. Sara's confidence was quite appreciated by the viewers of Koffee With Karan 6 where she made a debut with her father(and won all the hampers!). 

 

The debutante star-kid understands the privilege she got, and knows that not every newcomer gets such support in the film industry. In an interview with BBC’s Asian Network, Sara said, 

"This is become a conversation back home recently more than it was, this word nepotism that a lot of people talk about. I don’t think that I can run away from that. I think it will be hypocritical and wrong for me to say that it doesn’t exist. I think that the main perk of being a star kid is access; what it does is that it allows— I could go to Rohit Sir’s office and say that would you consider me for Simmba, that’s a privilege. So the access that my parents have worked so hard to enable me to have is not something that I can deny or something that I can run away from. What I am trying to say is that while star kids, as much as I hate that term, do have easier access to this line maybe, but if you are not good, you are going to be asked to leave."

But this perk comes with a lot of pressure. She said, 

"I do carry the burden of a little bit of pressure- I am done shooting for two films without anybody even seeing the first one, I am aware of the pressure that comes with, I am aware that it is going to be seen by many as an unearned opportunity and when that happens, the pressure is even greater."
