Impressive debut

Her inspirational weight loss

The 24-year-old’s ethereal, almost dreamy beauty has caught everyone’s eye. But not many people know that during her early years, Sara was a bit of a heavier side and in fact a chubby girl. It didn’t come easy for the star kid who weighed over 90 kilograms before making her debut.

Sara has spoken about her struggles with PCOD (Polycystic ovary syndrome) that led to her excessive weight gain. That’s why talking about Sara Ali Khan’s weight loss journey is important.

To fit the role in a mainstream Bollywood movie, she had to drop a few pounds."I was 96 kgs. ‘It will be almost rude to call you fat,’ is what you (Saif) said. Actually, I had PCOD. I still do. And, because of that, I think I put on the amount of weight that I did. Because of that, there was also a hormone problem."

A beauty with brains

If you thought she's just a pretty face, you may want to rethink. Sara Ali Khan is one of those star kids who are the perfect example of beauty with brains. She entered Bollywood only after finishing her education at Ivy League College, Columbia University and thanks academics for shaping the person she is today.

Papa Saif Ali Khan was very particular that she completed her education before following her Bollywood dreams.

On Karan Johar's show Koffee With Karan season 6, Sara was widely applauded for her expressiveness and for confidently answering to all the tricky and bold questions be it nepotism in the industry or her equation with stepmother Kareena Kapoor.

Admiration from seniors and peers

Sometimes, Sara Ali Khan was seen helping the underprivileged by donating clothes, food, and money.

Sara Ali Khan is one of the few debutantes who not only won the hearts of her audiences but also her contemporaries in the industry. Both co-stars, Kartik Aaryan, Sushant Singh Rajput have earlier heaped praises for the princess of Pataudi and for all the right reasons. Even some star kids like Janhvi Kapoor and Ananya Panday cannot help singing praise for her.

Recently, veteran actor Rishi Kapoor has praised actress Sara Ali Khan saying she has set an example of how celebrities should behave at the airport. "Wonderful Sara. You set examples of how celebrities should behave at the airport. No harm at all tugging your own baggage, no chamchas to receive and the icing on the cake! No dark glasses or an airport look," the yesteryear heartthrob, who is currently undergoing treatment here tweeted.

Sara recently said in an interview to IANS that she neither has time to feel like a "star" not does she think she will let herself feel like one in the future. "I am just running around trying to cope with the workload. I don’t have time to feel like a star. I don’t think I’m a star yet. But I hope I get there someday. I don’t think I will ever let myself feel like a star. The minute you do, others will stop seeing you in a favorable light," she had said.
