Sara Ali Khan says ‘not fazed by people’s opinions’ as she reacts to criticism about religious beliefs

Actor Sara Ali Khan recently opened up about criticism that she receives for her religious and personal beliefs and said that she is not fazed by other people’s opinions. Sara said she doesn't feel validated by anyone else as she has a strong sense of self.

During an interaction with Vogue India, Sara Ali Khan said, ‘I learned that my sense of validation should not come from anything external, including the way I look. So I grew up with qualities that were very innate, very inherent, very internal. And because they’re rooted in such a secure place inside me, I’m not fazed by other people’s opinions of me. At my core, I’m still the same girl that went to Columbia to study Russian history. I think having a strong sense of self and not defining myself by what people think of me is the only way to keep going.’

Sara added, ‘I definitely appreciate any kind of criticism when it comes to my work. I work for the audience and if they don’t like my work, it behoves me to see what I can do better. But if they have an opinion on anything personal, whether it’s my religious beliefs, my sense of dressing, or my non-blow-dried hair at the airport, I don’t care.’

On the work front, Sara Ali Khan was recently seen in Laxman Utekar's 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke' alongside Vicky Kaushal.

She will next be seen in 'Ae Watan Mere Watan'. She also has Anurag Basu's 'Metro...In Dino' in the pipeline. The movie also features Aditya Roy Kapur, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Pankaj Tripathi and Konkana Sen Sharma.
