“It Kills Me To See You…”: Amrita Singh Told Sara Ali Khan When She Was Battling Weight Issues

Sara Ali Khan made her big debut in Bollywood with Kedarnath opposite Sushant Singh Rajput and went on to star in successful films like Simmba, Coolie No. 1 and Atrangi Re. The actress who just a few years before her entry into showbiz weighed close to 90 Kg recently reflected back on her inspiring journey.

Sara’s first point of inspiration to come down to 50 Kg was an offer from Karan Johar’s film.

While talking on The Ranveer Show podcast, Sara revealed being ‘hopeless’ at the time. In her days of being overweight, “I didn’t think that there would be a better tomorrow, so let me just enjoy the food at least,” Sara held this mentality. Her concerned mother and actress Amrita Singh even told Sara, “It kills me to see you not care about yourself…”

Sara while talking about her mother said, “She’s the coolest woman ever. She’s the epitome of strength. She is as strong and fierce as she is extremely soft. She lives only for me and Ibrahim. Her purpose in life is for me and Ibrahim to be happy. She doesn’t give a damn about anything. She celebrated Atrangi Re so much, and she never abused me for Love Aaj Kal.”

Sara firmly believes that weight doesn’t only impact physical appearance but also one’s mental health.??

She further expressed, “I was huge, it was not healthy on any level. It was hormonally affecting me, which still happens. Whenever I’m touching that 60 kg mark, you can start seeing that I’m not feeling okay… If you eat rubbish, it’s going to affect your mental health also, because you’re going to look in the mirror, and be like, ‘Why am I doing this?’”

“I think it’s very important for overweight people to hear this… You definitely should keep check of what you’re eating, because it affects more than just your visual appearance. It affects your hormone balance, and that’s extremely important."

Sara on her professional front has some interesting projects lined up. She will soon be seen in the Disney+ Hotstar thriller Gaslight. Further, Khan has Laxman Utekar’s untitled film opposite Vicky Kaushal and the period drama Ae Watan Mere Watan in her kitty. She will also feature in Homi Adajania’s Murder Mubarak and an untitled Jagan Shakti directorial.
