 "Sara Ali Khan on living with her single mother Amrita Singh: 'At a very early age, I realised…'")
Sara Ali Khan is gearing up for Ae Watan Mere Watan that will stream on Amazon Prime Video from March 21. In an interview with ETimes, she spoke about the influence women have had on her life and how it has to do with her single mother and actress Amrita Singh.
Khan said, “I think living with a single mother has a huge role to play in it. At a very early age, I realised koi aapke liye kuchh karne nahi wala (nobody is going to do anything for you). It’s not that I don’t get help, I do. But ultimately, you are the mover and initiator of your life.”
The actress added, “If you are lucky, stars align and God wills, then it will happen. You can’t be waiting around for things to happen, it doesn’t work like that.”
Ae Watan Mere Watan is all set to release on Amazon Prime Video IN on March 21.
