There's Mental Success When My Mother And My Brother Like My Work: Sara Ali Khan

While money and appreciation of work by family are important, Sara Ali Khan said, knowing she gave the role her 100 per cent is the ultimate success.

New Delhi: There are three levels of success for Sara Ali Khan: perceptional, mental and internal, and the actor says her latest film 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke' helped her tick all of them. Romantic comedy 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke', also starring Vicky Kaushal, recently completed 30 days in theatres and has crossed Rs 80 crore at the domestic box office. While money and appreciation of work by family are important, Sara said, knowing she gave the role her 100 per cent is the ultimate success.

"For me, there are three levels of success. There's perceptional success. Vicky, Dino sir and I said, (when) the film will make Rs 50 crore, we'll be publicly successful. Right now, touchwood, we are touching Rs 85 crore.

"Then there's mental success when my mother and my brother like my work. I'm proud of my work. Finally, there's really internal success which comes the day you know you have given your 100 per cent. Being able to give your 100 per cent every day is the only kind of success that's not fickle," the 27-year-old actor told PTI.

Asked if her latest film helped her achieve all three levels of success, she replied: "Yes, for sure." Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Maddock Films, "Zara Hatke Zara Bachke" hit theatres on June 2. Set in Indore, the film follows a married couple Kapil and Somya, played by Vicky and Sara, who are headed for a 'divorce'.

The actor said she is "relieved" with the success of the film, which marks her first theatrical release since 2020's "Love Aaj Kal". Her last three films "Coolie No. 1", "Atrangi Re" and "Gaslight" premiered directly on streamers.

"I was coming back to the big screen after a really long time... I was so scared. People used to say they don't know what will happen. It was the regular Friday anxiety but I'm so happy and so relieved." At a time when the viewers are "emotionally very intelligent", Sara said a film that is honest will strike a chord with anybody.

"There was a simplicity to the film. It's not like there are five twists and turns and you're asking me what the biggest expense was. It's a simple story. Being Somya with Vicky as Kapil under Laxman sir's guidance was the most special for me," she said.

Next in the pipeline for the actor are period drama "Ae Watan Mere Watan", Anurag Basu's film anthology "Metro… In Dino", and "Murder Mubarak" by Homi Adajania.

"In the upcoming films, I aspire to have versatility. I just want to keep growing with every film and every filmmaker," added Sara.
