Actress Sara Ali Khan has recently reflected on the knife attack on her father, actor Saif Ali Khan, that occurred earlier this January, sharing that the family faced an exceptionally challenging time at the year’s outset.
Podcast Insights
Sara and her grandmother, Sharmila Tagore, appeared on Soha Ali Khan’s podcast, “ALL ABOUT HER.” During the conversation, Soha inquired what they have learned from one another.
Sara expressed, “I have learned that dignity and grace above all else even in the hardest of times. I think as a family we have been through quite a lot together especially earlier this year with abba (Saif Ali Khan).”
In January, Saif was attacked by an intruder wielding a knife at his Mumbai home during an alleged robbery attempt. He sustained multiple stab wounds to his back and arm, required surgery, but has ultimately made a recovery.
Sara added, “But I think just holding herself together and not letting that go I think that’s something.”
Inspiration from Grandmother
When discussing what aspect of her grandmother Sharmila Tagore she hopes to embody, Sara noted, “I think badhi ammi is very dignified and that is something I really aspire to be able to inculcate in life.”
