Sara Khan Hates That People Keep Talking About Her Past; Wants Them To Remember Her For Work
Sara Khan's first show, Bidaai, that made her a household name, is being re-aired on television during the lockdown. During a live Facebook chat with IE, Sara Khan reminisced her Bidaai days, and revealed that she wants people to remember her for her work and not because of the controversies.
When
asked
as
to
what
makes
the
audiences
connect
so
much
with
serials
like
Bidaai,
the
actress
said,
"Firstly,
back
then,
shows
were
made
on
some
really
beautiful
and
new
stories.
Bidaai
won
hearts
because
of
its
characters.
The
bonding
between
the
two
sisters
was
also
a
new
concept
then.
We
also
focussed
on
the
issue
regarding
a
girl's
complexion
in
the
most
sensitive
way.
Also,
people
really
enjoyed
watching
television
back
then.
Appointment
viewing
was
an
important
part
of
one's
life.
Today,
with
the
internet
explosion,
people
are
watching
more
short
formats
and
web
series."
When asked if it was challenging to handle fame at a young age as Bidaai was a big hit, she said, "Of course, it was. I was so young and didn't have anyone to guide me. I really had no idea what to do, and say. I think that is why I made some mistakes that led to a lot of controversies. I hate the fact that people keep talking about the past. I want them to remember me for my work, not controversies."
When Sara was asked how she deals with controversies and criticism, she said that she has become a lot more careful now and do not want to get into any complexities. She added that right now, she wants to just focus on her work. She also said that many a times, she was misunderstood and sometimes the media blew things out of proportion. But now, she just wants a beautiful today and tomorrow.
Regarding criticism, the actress feels that it's sad that people want to put others down. She calls these people 'faceless and nameless', who talk rubbish. Earlier, she used to get affected, but now she just prays for them. She added that since we cannot change people and prove ourselves to them, it is better to just move on.
