Sara, in an appearance on The Bombay Journey chat show on Mashable India, admitted that she has been called a ‘control freak’ by her mother. She said that ever since she has become an actor, she has ‘started having more in common’ with her mom. “When I was away at Columbia, I don’t think she really understood me, as well as she understands me now, as somebody trying to make her mark in the Hindi film industry, which is something that she has done,” Sara said.
Speaking about the advice she has given her daughter for her Bollywood debut, Amrita once said she has just told Sara to work hard, give her best shot and always work with her head down and to stay grounded.
