Film shoots are back in full swing, as actors like Sara Ali Khan return to sets. Currently shooting for 'Atrangi Re' alongside Akshay Kumar and Dhanush, Sara reveals she was “praying” to be back. Talking about her experience getting back at work, the actress said, “The truth is, of course there are physical restrictions, everybody has to sanitise regularly, get checks, wear masks, that's the obvious answer. What I want to tell is that two days before the lockdown in March 2020, I was in Varanasi shooting with Aanand Ji. Every moment of that lockdown, I was only praying to go back on set!”
The 25 year old added, “While of course there are physical changes, considering the times that we are in, the passion, positivity, enthusiasm with which my Director of Photography, actors, director, Ads, spotboye, all are just back. Shiddat hai, longing thi. Maheenon ghar pe band reh kar. I think that doesn't change that passion. Which is the only thing which stands the test of Covid, big screen, small screen. It doesn't matter beyond a point! We make movies to have fun.”
When asked if there is a piece of advice she follows, Sara mentioned her mother and veteran actor Amrita Singh. “Everything I do comes from my mother, whether it's styling or films. I bounce everything to her, but the irony of that statement is she has told me, 'Listen as your mother, I can tell you what I think, but ultimately the only thing you have to rely on is conviction. If you don't feel it, don't do it, whether it's the colour of your nail paint, the shot you are giving or films. All has to come from an honest space', and that's the mantra to life, I feel.”
