Sara Ali Khan Discusses Nepotism and Independent Challenges in Bollywood CareerPreviousNext

Sara Ali Khan, daughter of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, acknowledged that her film family background opened doors and gave her early recognition in Bollywood. However, she emphasized that she has faced high expectations and challenges independently, without her father negotiating contracts or seeking roles for her. Sara highlighted that nepotism has become a negative label that often overshadows the hard work of star kids like herself, Janhvi Kapoor, and Ananya Panday, who did not choose their family legacies but benefited from them.
