While Sara Ali Khan’s big Bollywood debut has been in the news since a while, here’s an interesting tid-bit. Apparently, daddy Saif Ali Khan doesn’t want his 21-year-old to follow in the footsteps of actress, Alia Bhatt.
Sara is, reportedly, on the verge of bagging a project with Dharma Productions. While Kareena Kapoor Khan is excited about it, Saif isn’t keen on having his daughter be launched by Karan Johar. He would much prefer her to be independent and make her own career choices; mistakes et al.
According to a report in Pinkvilla, a source was quoted saying,
Kareena and Saif have been having some disagreements about Sara’s career. But Saif really does not want Sara to follow Alia’s footsteps. Kareena and her girl gang always talk about how Alia’s career wouldn’t be the way it is, if Karan hadn’t launched her. The industry apparently thinks that KJo is too involved in Alia’s career as he still keeps recommending her to big directors and mega projects. Saif does not wish for someone to have that kind of effect on Sara’s career. He thinks she should be more independent.
The source added,
While Kareena understands Saif’s line of thought, she feels one movie with Karan would do no harm to Sara. She also promised Saif that she will make sure KJo does not get too involved in Sara’s career.
Well, with this kind of a push from the family, Sara is sure to soar high with her Bollywood career!
