Actor Sara Ali Khan called her grandmother Sharmila Tagore "the voice of modernity" and revealed that she gives her "good advice when it comes to boys". In an interview with Filmfare, Sara also spoke about being trolled and how she finds her silver lining in it. 

Sara talks about grandma Sharmila

Talking about Sharmila, Sara Ali Khan said, "My grandmother is my only living grandparent. She is the voice of reason for all of us. And I think that when things get hard, which they did in my life in 2020, a period of time that was not very good for me, my daddy was there for me, all guns blazing. And she’s there for my mom and brother. Of course, she’s there for my father as well. She connects me to my traditional roots. She is also the voice of modernity. She also gives me good advice when it comes to boys, films, and social life. She’s a champion."

Sara on getting trolled

Sara spoke about social media and trolling. She said, "I think you have to have an inner conviction because everybody is going to try to drag you down, especially if you give them the opportunity to. First, just be grateful. Practising gratitude helps because it could always be worse than it is...it’s always about the way you look at things. Even if I’m being trolled, for instance, I tell myself that at least they’re talking about me. Imagine being irrelevant. For an actor, that’s death. So always look at it in such a way that you can tell yourself it could have been worse."
