Actress Sara Ali Khan recently shared a surprising anecdote from her teenage years, revealing how she once lied to her mother, veteran actress Amrita Singh, about traveling on a Mumbai local train, only for Amrita to find out through a journalist.
A Teenage Secret Unveiled
During a candid chat on BookMyShow Unscripted, Sara Ali Khan reminisced about an incident when she chose the bustling Mumbai local train for travel, keeping her mother in the dark. To cover her tracks, she told Amrita she was at a neighbor’s house.
However, the truth came out in an unexpected way. A journalist, who had seen Sara on the train, called Amrita Singh, praising her for raising such a grounded daughter and asking for permission to publish a photo of Sara on the local.
Amrita Singh’s Reaction
Amrita Singh was, understandably, upset upon discovering her daughter’s lie. Her concern wasn’t just about the deceit, but also amplified by a recent local train accident that had occurred around the same time.
Sara recalled her mother advising her to be more careful and, most importantly, to always be truthful about her whereabouts. It was a moment that clearly stayed with the young actress.
Parental Worry Beyond Trains
This incident isn’t the only time Amrita Singh’s maternal instincts have been highlighted. Sara has previously spoken about her mother’s reaction to negativity on social media.
While Sara herself can often brush off online trolls, she admitted that it “pinches” her to see her mother affected by such comments. Amrita might pretend not to notice, but Sara can see the sadness on her face, which truly impacts her.
