Speaking about marriage to News18, she said, “You are a product of your experiences and what you see around you. At the risk of being too serious, I’ve seen that marriages can also go wrong. Toh usse better hai ki aap wait karo aur sahi bande ke saath shaadi karo (It is better to wait for the right person)," Sara tells us.

For the unversed, Sara’s father and actor Saif Ali Khan married her mother Amrita Singh when he was 21 years old in 1991. The couple had a 12-year age gap. Amrita Singh was 33 years old at the time of their wedding. The couple remained married for 13 years and had two kids — Sara and her brother Ibrahim Ali Khan. However, their marriage didn’t last, and they eventually divorced in 2004. While Saif went on to marry Kareena Kapoor Khan, Amrita never remarried after her divorce with Saif.
