Bollywood star Sara Ali Khan recently made headlines with her candid revelations about her parents, saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar India, Sara shared how her childhood perceptions of her parents were shaped by their iconic roles in Indian cinema.
Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the film industry, Sara was exposed to the world of movies from a young age. though, this exposure also led to some misunderstandings. reflecting on her younger years, Sara admitted, “I felt disturbed after seeing that my parents were ‘such negative people.’” This sentiment stemmed from watching her father, Saif, play the morally ambiguous Langda Tyagi in Omkara and her mother, Amrita, portray a villainous character in Kalyug.
Saif’s performance in omkara was a career-defining moment, earning him widespread acclaim. Despite the film’s modest box office performance, his portrayal of Langda Tyagi remains etched in the minds of audiences as a cinematic masterpiece. Similarly, Amrita’s role in Kalyug showcased her versatility as an actor, though she never revisited such a character in her subsequent projects.
Sara’s initial confusion about her parents’ on-screen personas highlights the fine line between fiction and reality. ”I was surprised when I saw my parents being nominated in the category of ‘Best Actor in a Negative Role’ for the characters they portrayed on screen,” she shared. Over time, she came to understand that their performances were a testament to their acting prowess, not a reflection of their true selves.
Both Omkara and Kalyug have since achieved cult status, celebrated for their bold storytelling and unforgettable performances. While Saif’s role in Omkara remains a standout in his career,fans continue to hope for a return of Amrita’s captivating intensity in future projects.
Sara’s journey of reconciling her childhood perceptions with the realities of her parents’ craft offers a relatable narrative for anyone who has ever been influenced by the power of storytelling. Her story is a reminder that art, no matter how compelling, is a reflection of creativity, not reality.

Sara Ali Khan: Absolutely. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in Bollywood, I was constantly exposed to films and performances. But as a child, I didn’t fully grasp the concept of acting. Watching my father, Saif Ali Khan, play Langda Tyagi in Omkara and my mother, Amrita Singh, portray a villain in Kalyug, I genuinely thought they were “negative people” in real life.
