Sara Ali Khan is one of the most sought after actresses of this generation but she doesn't consider that she grew up in the family of stars and doesn't consider herself one either. However, when asked about one thing she would like to learn from her father’s wife, Kareena Kapoor, Sara replied, "I admire Kareena Kapoor and her work. She's a professional who always gives preference to work. Her style of working is something I would want to imbibe from her."

In a recent interview, during an appearance on Starry Nights Gen Y, Sara also opened up about her upbringing and said, "My parents are actors, but I don't think I have been grown up in the family of stars. Father, for instance, dad has always been very particular about education and my mother is the flag-bearer of humility. She so believes putting your head down and letting your work speak for yourself."

"I never had much exposure to Bollywood. I don't really think I come from a family of stars. I don't look at myself as a star," she added. Sara also spoke about her childhood, "I was a mischievous student in school who played pranks on everyone. One of the pranks I remember was dropping glue on the fan blades which spilled all over the class when switched on. I almost got suspended for this because my principal kept asking why I did this, and I had no answer to it."
