During a live show on Roposo, a creator-led live entertainment commerce platform, she answered a fan’s comment on playing Sharmila Tagore in her biopic. She jokingly asked what the film is even going to be called and commented, "She’s so graceful. I don’t know if I’m graceful."



When asked if she often spent time speaking to her grandmother about her legendary career, Sara replied, "I speak to Badi Amma (grandmother) quite a lot, but I don’t think I’ve actually spent much time speaking to her about her career as such. There are so many other things. She’s so well read, interested in current events, and has a great sense of general knowledge. She’s such a classy lady and she’s had such a life. She has world views and we’ve spent so much more time talking about that than actually her craft, which I think I should."


As the show continued, the ‘Atrangi Re’ actress revealed who in the industry has a career she hopes to have one day. 


"This is not a novel answer. Everybody expects it. Everyone on this live show is going to be like ‘oh she’s going to say Alia Bhatt’ but yeah. She did a Karan Johar film and a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film simultaneously. Any of you that know what I want even a little bit, know that’s the answer- If you can be Gangu (Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi) and Rani (KJo’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani) at the same time, then that's (she made a face expressing amazement). I saw ‘Student of the Year’ and ‘Highway’ in the span of two years and that’s amazing."
