My Work Is The Most Exciting Part Of My Life, And I Am Lucky To Have That: Sara Ali Khan

Bollywood actress, Sara Ali Khan has been one of the most exciting talents coming out from the industry. In a span of two years, the actress has seen the highs of glamour and has also garnered a substantial fan base. The daughter of Bollywood stars Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh may have been born in the lap of fame, but she insists she does not believe in stardom as she believes that things keep changing and stardom is one of them. ## "I don't look at stardom. Till now, I don't use the word fans. I don't use the word star. I don't believe in these things. I think Friday to Friday I mean it used to be Friday and it can now be released any day. With every release of a film your stature, stardom whatever you call it keeps changing", Sara told TOI. ## "I think the only thing that matters is your 'neeyat' (intention). Aapki jo 'neeyat' hoti hai woh matter karta hai aur kahin na kahin jo aapki shiddat, passion aur junoon hota hai woh matter karta hai (what matters is your intention, hard work, passion and craze). Everything else keeps changing and will continue to change", she added.## Sara debuted in Bollywood in 2018 with Abhishek Kapoor's 'Kedarnath', co-starring late Sushant Singh Rajput. She was then seen in Rohit Shetty's 'Simmba' opposite Ranveer Singh, the Kartik Aaryan co-starrer 'Love Aajkal 2' by Imtiaz Ali, and, her latest release, Coolie No. 1 opposite Varun Dhawan.## "I am lucky to be in a profession I like. I see a couple of people friends of mine do nine-to-five jobs they don't like, and are like, "oh god! work'. But this does not work. My work is the most exciting part of my life. I am lucky to have that, rest is all irrelevant", the actress said.## Sara Ali Khan has an equally important film lined up for her in the future. She will next be seen with Akshay Kumar and Dhanush in Aanand L. Rai's 'Atrangi Re' of which the shooting is underway. ## Stay tuned...
