Sara Ali Khan on growing up with single mom

In an interview with ETimes during Ae Watan Mere Watan promotions, Sara spoke about living with a single mother. She said, “I think living with a single mother has a huge role to play in it. At a very early age, I realised koi aapke liye kuchh karne nahi wala (nobody is going to do anything for you). It's not that I don't get help, I do. But ultimately, you are the mover and initiator of your life. If you are lucky, stars align and God wills, then it will happen. You can't be waiting around for things to happen, it doesn't work like that.”
