Sara Ali Khan is one of those actresses who has never shied away from speaking her heart out and being an open book whether it is in her professional or personal life. Sara has often spoken about how proud she is because she was 'raised by a single mother (Amrita Singh)' and that she 'loves her so much'. 

But in addition to that, Sara also shares a warm and strong bond with her father Saif Ali Khan. A few days back, Saif had said that he was not an "absentee father". 

"I may not have been responsible at various times while in my 20s, but I’ve always been there and ready to do the best that I can do at that time for my kids (Sara and her younger brother, Ibrahim). I have never felt like an absentee father."

Now Sara responded to Saif's statement and said, "I know my father very well. Dad is like me, so he says what he is thinking at that particular point. He never really says things for any ulterior motive. I love my mother a lot. I think when you have a lot of time to show a feeling or emotion, it’s easier. Mum is a single mother and I am everything because of her but she has every day to show how much she loves me. I don’t live with my father so, I haven’t felt that [emotion from his side]."

"The only thing that I know about dad is that he has always been a great father. He has always been there without even living with us. So, I think he deserves a special hug and love from me for never making me feel that he doesn’t live with me because he was, and is always just a phone call away. And that’s comforting," Sara added.
