My Work Is The Most Exciting Part Of My Life, And I Am Lucky To Have That: Sara Ali Khan

Bollywood actress, Sara Ali Khan has been one of the most exciting talents coming out from the industry. In a span of two years, the actress has seen the highs of glamour and has also garnered a substantial fan base. The daughter of Bollywood stars Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh may have been born in the lap of fame, but she insists she does not believe in stardom as she believes that things keep changing and stardom is one of them. ## "I don't look at stardom. Till now, I don't use the word fans. I don't use the word star. I don't believe in these things. I think Friday to Friday I mean it used to be Friday and it can now be released any day. With every release of a film your stature, stardom whatever you call it keeps changing", Sara told TOI. ## "I think the only thing that matters is your 'neeyat' (intention). Aapki jo 'neeyat' hoti hai woh matter karta hai aur kahin na kahin jo aapki shiddat, passion aur junoon hota hai woh matter karta hai (what matters is your intention, hard work, passion and craze). Everything else keeps changing and will continue to change", she added.## Sara debuted in Bollywood in 2018 with Abhishek Kapoor's 'Kedarnath', co-starring late Sushant Singh Rajput. She was then seen in Rohit Shetty's 'Simmba' opposite Ranveer Singh, the Kartik Aaryan co-starrer 'Love Aajkal 2' by Imtiaz Ali, and, her latest release, Coolie No. 1 opposite Varun Dhawan.## "I am lucky to be in a profession I like. I see a couple of people friends of mine do nine-to-five jobs they don't like, and are like, "oh god! work'. But this does not work. My work is the most exciting part of my life. I am lucky to have that, rest is all irrelevant", the actress said.## Sara Ali Khan has an equally important film lined up for her in the future. She will next be seen with Akshay Kumar and Dhanush in Aanand L. Rai's 'Atrangi Re' of which the shooting is underway. ## Stay tuned...

Emraan Hashmi Looks Back At Working On 'Tigers' With Oscar-Winning Director Danis Tanovic

Emraan Hashmi recalls how working in Oscar-winner, Danis Tanovics' film 'Tigers' changed him as an actor and took his image beyond being a commercial hero in Bollywood. ## "Tigers gave me the opportunity to experiment with my acting capabilities and discover an unbeaten path to prove my mettle. It was an immersive experience to be a part of a project where the cast and crew are from two different worlds, and putting up a great film for the rightful cause", he said. ## Working with Tanovic, whose 2001 Bosnian film 'No Man's Land' won the Best Foreign Film Oscar, Emraan said that the director helped him polish his craft and gain new perspectives. He is happy that over the years, the movie has garnered a good response in the international festival circuit.## The story of the film is based on true events, and it casts Emraan as a Pakistani medical representative who discovers his multinational employers' baby food is killing hundreds of children.## The film released in 2018 and the actor said working on the project changed his perspective. "I believe that niche cinema has a greater capacity to polish you as an artist as well as a human. I absolutely love doing massy films and full-on entertainers but I would like to strike a balance between the two", Emraan said.## "Lately whatever projects that have been offered to me were out of the box. Tigers was one such film that gave me a broader perspective of my craft. We were telling a story that was bigger than us and such stories define your career", the actor added about the film that had its small-screen premiere on &pictures.## Stay tuned...
