New Delhi: Sara Ali Khan belongs to the royal Pataudi family and yet considers herself like any regular Mumbai girl. Her mother Amrita Singh is connected to Sobha Singh ( one of the people who re-modelled Delhi) and is the grandniece of novelist Khushwant Singh. On her father's side, she is the granddaughter of actors Sharmila Tagore and Mansoor Ali Khan, the last Nawab of Pataudi. The actor, who is currently awaiting the release of 'Gaslight' spoke about having a normal upbringing in Mumbai and having a simple life, not connected to royalty.

In an interview with The Hindu, the 'Atrangi Re' actor said, "I find it ridiculous when people think that. I don’t associate myself as a royal.” She added, "I’ve lived in Juhu in Mumbai most of my life with my mother. I go to Bandra to meet my dad. I holiday in Himachal Pradesh and Kedarnath and Jammu and Kashmir. Like seriously, I don’t know what royal means.”

Sara Ali Khan's parents Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh were divorced in 2004 and she and her younger brother Ibrahim Ali Khan were brought up by Amrita.
