New Delhi: Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor are good friends. We know that from their appearance together on 'Koffee With Karan'. Now, Sara, who is currently promoting her upcoming film 'Gaslight' opened up about Janhvi's recent statement where the latter spoke about still getting that respect as an actor. Sara, meanwhile, disagreed with Janhvi and said that respect has never been a problem in her career.
In an interaction with Sidhharth Kannan, Sara said, "I don’t feel under-respected at all. I think I have been given a lot of respect. I think for me, if you accept me for who I am, that’s the biggest sign of respect and touchwood, I got that very early in my career. I think from the very beginning I got respect.”
“Maybe what Janhvi could have meant, maybe as an actor one still has to prove themselves. But even then, whether it’s Kedarnath or Atrangi, I read the reviews I was given. I don’t think respect has been a problem for me.” She added.
Earlier, Janhvi Kapoor had spoken about her work and her mother Sridevi in detail with Barkha Dutt as part of 'We The Women' event. Janhvi had then said, "I believe I have more to offer and I want to prove to myself that I can take up new challenges and emerge from it. Somewhere it comes down to the line that ‘Mujhe mauke bohot mile hai, par izzat abhi tak nahi mila (I have got a lot of work opportunities, but I am yet to earn the respect)’ and I think that’s what I am working for, in my own eyes. It takes a lot to build perception and then break it.”
Sara Ali Khan was also asked about the one thing she would kill Kartik Aaryan for to which she said, "Honestly I am yet to see somebody that knows the pulse of our audience so well as he does.”
On the work front, Sara will be seen in 'Gaslight' along with Vikrant Massey and Chitrangda Singh. Sara also has a film with Vicky Kaushal in the pipeline.
