• Sara prioritizes work and marrying the right person.

Sara Ali Khan is in no rush to walk down the aisle, and she has her reasons. The actor, currently promoting her latest film Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, opened up about her realistic view of marriage in a recent conversation with News18. For Sara, marriage is not a fairytale. It is a serious decision, one she does not plan to take lightly.

Growing Up Seeing A Broken Marriage

Sara has watched a marriage fall apart up close. Her parents, actor Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, got married in 1991. Saif was 21 at the time, and Amrita was 33, making for a 12-year age gap between the two. They had two children together, Sara and her younger brother Ibrahim Ali Khan, before eventually parting ways in 2004 after 13 years of marriage. Saif later married Kareena Kapoor Khan.

That experience has stayed with Sara. "You are a product of your experiences and what you see around you," she told News18. "I've seen that marriages can also go wrong. Toh usse better hai ki aap wait karo aur sahi bande ke saath shaadi karo [It is better to wait and marry the right person]” she said.
