Sara Ali Khan claimed that although she was descended from the Nawab of Pataudis, she did not consider herself royal. Sara Ali Khan considers herself a Mumbai girl and does not associate with the royal family despite her background. She is the daughter of actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh and the granddaughter of actors Sharmila Tagore and Mansoor Ali Khan, the last nawab of Pataudi. His great-grandfather was the last ruler of the princely state of Pataudi during the British invasion. Young actors spoke of a standard education in Mumbai and a simple life alien to the royal family. In Gaslight, Sara plays a young woman, Meesha, who is in a wheelchair and returns home to find her father is not there to greet her. Even his mother-in-law (Chitrangda) and the members of the family estate cannot help him. The psychological thriller, directed by Pawan Kripalani, was filmed in a palatial mansion. But the young woman said she grew up away from the royal lifestyle despite her pedigree. In an interview with The Hindu, the actor said: “I think it’s funny when people believe that. I don’t identify with the royal family. He added: “Most of my life, I have lived with my mother in Juhu, Mumbai. I am travelling to Bandra to meet my father. I am vacationing in Himachal Pradesh and Kedarnath, Jammu and Kashmir.
Her parents divorced in 2004, and she and her younger brother Ibrahim Ali Khan were raised by Amrita. Ibrahim is slated to join the films later this year. Her grandmother Sharmila was last seen in the Disney+ Hotstar film Gulmohar. The actor is currently working on Homi Adajania’s next film Murder Mubarak which also stars Karisma Kapoor. Her work also includes Laxman Utekar’s untitled film starring Vicky Kaushal, in which she starred, and the historical drama Ae Watan Mere Watan, in which she plays Indian freedom fighter and underground radio host Usha Mehta. The film, directed by Kannan Iyer, will premiere on Prime Video later this year.
