David
Dhawan's
1995
comedy
film
Coolie
No.1
revolved
around
Govinda's
character,
a
porter
duping
Karisma
Kapoor's
character
into
falling
in
love
with
him
by
concealing
his
true
identity.
While
the
film's
plot
might
be
viewed
as
'problematic'
in
today's
times,
Sara
Ali
Khan
has
a
different
take
on
it.
The
actress
who
is
reprising
Karisma's
role
in
the
remake
of
the
1995
film,
defended
the
original
plot
while
speaking
with
a
leading
tabloid.
Sara
said
that
if
one
views
everything
through
a
politically
correct
lens,
'any
scope
of
humour
in
our
lives
will
be
lost'.
Sara
Ali
Khan
Urges
People
To
Watch
Coolie
No.1
With
An
Honest
Intention
Sara
Ali
Khan
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I'd
urge
people
to
watch
the
film
with
the
honest
intention
with
which
it
is
told.
There
is
a
difference
between
what
you
say
on
Twitter,
and
what
an
entertaining
comedy
tries
to
say.
If
everybody
[expects]
everything
to
be
politically
correct,
any
scope
of
humour
in
our
lives
will
be
[lost].
Of
course,
you
can't
be
demeaning."
She
further
added,
Govinda
sir
duping
Karisma
to
make
her
believe
that
he
is
not
a
coolie,
is
funny.
It's
not
about
him
cheating.
Ultimately,
he
falls
in
love
with
her,
and
that's
what
most
of
us
look
forward
to
in
life."
Sara
Ali
Khan
Says
Her
Co-Star
Varun
Dhawan
Helped
Her
In
Improving
Her
Comic
Timing
The
Love
Aaj
Kal
actress
opened
up
about
her
comic
timing
and
said
that
her
performance
shouldn't
be
compared
to
those
of
her
parents,
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Amrita
Singh.
Sara
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
am
not
as
spontaneous
as
my
dad
or
my
mother.
It's
all
about
reacting
to
what
the
other
person
says.
It's
a
difficult
genre
to
crack.
Varun
helped
me
improve
my
comic
timing.
He
is
much
more
experienced
in
this
genre."
'One
Shouldn't
Even
Try
To
Copy
Govinda
And
Karisma
Kapoor'
Talking
about
Varun
Dhawan
and
herself
stepping
into
Govinda
and
Karisma
Kapoor's
shoes
respectively
for
the
remake,
Sara
Ali
Khan
told
the
tabloid,
"Govinda
and
Karisma
are
institutions
in
themselves;
one
shouldn't
even
try
to
copy
them."
