Amrita Singh: “Sara is a born actor”

The trailer of the much awaited debut of Sara Ali Khan in ‘Kedarnath’, released on Friday has received a positive response. Starring opposite Sushant Singh Rajput, Khan’s mother Amrita Singh spoke about her excitement as a parent to see her daughter on the big screens.

In an interview with DNA India, Singh who had an impressive career during the 80’s and 90’s, says she is happy that her daughter is receiving the attention that she is, who has a striking resemblance to her mum. “I’m glad that people are appreciating her. It’s difficult and odd to talk in the media about how I’m feeling right now. So, I can’t really share my true emotions. But as a mother, I’m extremely overwhelmed and proud. Now, it’s up to the audience and that Friday to decide it for her,” says Singh.

Sharing advise as a mother, the ‘Mard’ (1985) actress only wants the best for her daughter. “I hope Sara does really well in life. I want her to stay extremely grounded, focused and committed to her work. It’s a tough job at the end of the day. So, she should just keep moving ahead and do the right kind of films.”

Singh went on to say how she is expecting to be referred as ‘Sara’s mother’, “That will be the ultimate day. Isn’t it the biggest achievement for any parent to see their kids get such recognition? Sara is a born actor. She would always do those pretty things in front of the mirror. We knew that she would definitely become an actress,” laughs Singh.

‘Kedarnath’, which is directed by Abhishek Kapoor hits cinemas on the 7th December.
