The youngster revealed that her ‘dadi’ was immensely proud of her debut and called it ‘amazing’ that her character brought her family together for 30 seconds.    

"Dadi is extremely proud. She is getting a lot of messages from people and she messaged mom which was a big one for me. I think dadi messaging mom, after you know... life, that we have, that was really something. That's amazing. If as a character, you can bring audiences together and as an individual you can bring your family together for 30 seconds also, that's something," the actress was quoted as saying at a media interaction. 

Tagore had earlier lauded her granddaughter for her self-confidence and screen presence, humility and charm. The veteran actress added that Sara is never tongue-tied and has an answer for everything. She also expressed delight about standing up for her father Saif Ali Khan on ‘Koffee with Karan.’ 

Sara has been welcomed with open arms by critics and audiences alike for her role as Mukku, a daughter of an elite family, who falls in love with a commoner, a tourist escort played by Sushant Singh Rajput.
