Saif reveals his conversation Sara after the Failure of Love Aaj Kal; Tells her "you have to go through this"!

Sara Ali Khan has been making headlines for her latest release Love Aaj Kal which also starred Kartik Aaryan. Gradually, from the time the young starlet has entered the Hindi film industry, she has been trying to carve a niche for herself and fans can’t stop admiring her. However, Sara’s recent release directed by Imtiaz Ali couldn’t make the impact that it was expected to do. 

In a recent interaction with Anupama Chopra, Saif Ali Khan was asked how he reacted when daughter Sara Ali Khan’s recent film, Love Aaj Kal, was criticized by fans and how she came to terms with it herself.

He said, “I did message her and ask if she’s alright. Of course, it’s a romantic and nice fatherly notion (to hold your daughter’s hand through hardships), but I don’t think it’s really needed. I think she’s quite tough and smart and she gets it. And I told her, ‘you have to go through this’.”

The film which was a remake of her father Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone's 2009 outing Love Aaj Kal, eventually failed miserably, both in winning the audience and minting numbers at the box office.

Saif added, wondering if he’d want to talk to his mother about professional failures, “She hasn’t really talked about it. Parents want to help and they’re there. It’s really something you have to go through on your own... It’s good to have that reality check, anyway. You don’t want to be that kind of movie star who’s never seen success and can’t walk when it finally happens.”

As to why Sara chose to do the film, Saif speculated, “You must have liked something, you might have liked someone; the director or the producer...” He concluded, “Not much has to go wrong for it to go wrong... You have to keep working through it.” 

With just three films old Sara Ali Khan has created a lot of noise in B-town and fans have been eager to see her on-screen. She will next be seen in David Dhawan directorial Coolie No. 1 alongside Varun Dhawan and in Atrangi re opposite Akshay Kumar and Dhanush.
