Sara Ali Khan Shares How Her Columbia University Education Helped Her Become An Actor
Sara Ali Khan expressed that her undergrad program in Columbia University helped her grow as a person, and strengthened her desire of becoming an actor.
One
of
the
most
promising
talents
to
debut
in
the
Hindi
film
industry
last
year
was
Sara
Ali
Khan.
Audiences
loved
her
performance
in
both
Kedarnath,
and
Simmba,
and
reckoned
that
she
was
here
to
stay.
Not
only
her
talent,
but
fans
are
in
love
with
Sara's
chill,
down-to-earth
and
confident
personality,
which
was
first
noticed
in
her
debut
on
Koffee
With
Karan
6,
in
which
she
appeared
with
her
father,
Saif
Ali
Khan.
Sara
feels
that
she
was
able
to
cultivate
her
talent
and
bolster
her
confidence
because
of
the
education
she
received.
In
a
recent
interview,
she
expressed
that
her
undergrad
program
at
Columbia
University
helped
her
grow
as
a
person,
and
strengthened
her
desire
of
becoming
an
actor.
Speaking
to
Times
of
India,
Sara
opened
up
about
how
she
always
wanted
to
be
an
actor,
and
her
college
education
just
helped
her
in
realizing
this
dream.
She
said,
"I
don't
think
going
to
Columbia
had
anything
to
do
with
me
not
wanting
to
be
an
actor.
If
anything,
I
think
I
went
there
and
I
learned
how
to
be
a
little
more
independent,
I
gained
life
experiences
and
International
exposure."
She
continued,
"I
studied
every
subject
and
I
studied
history
and
political
science
as
major
subjects
and
I
thoroughly
enjoyed
it
but
I
also
studied
parts
of
economics,
chemistry,
and
maths
and
having
done
all
of
this
in
the
mecca
of
education
I
realized
that
nothing
was
more
interesting
than
the
rush
I
felt
before
I
went
on
to
the
stage
to
do
theatre
which
is
another
thing
that
I
studied
at
Columbia.
So
I
think
if
anything,
going
to
Columbia
made
me
realize
how
badly
I
wanted
to
be
an
actor."
Sara
will
next
be
seen
in
an
untitled
Imtiaz
Ali
film,
which
is
going
to
be
a
sequel
to
his
'Love
Aaj
Kal'.
She
will
star
opposite
Kartik
Aaryan,
an
actor
she
is
rumored
to
be
dating.
Sara
is
also
shooting
for
David
Dhawan's
remake
of
Coolie
No.
1,
in
which
she
will
star
opposite
Varun
Dhawan.
