Sara Ali Khan Admits Negative Comments Impact Her Emotionally

MUMBAI- Sara Ali Khan opened up about dealing with online trolling and criticism, saying social media comments do affect her mentally because she works for the audience.

She added that over time she has learned to focus on her own growth and effort as an actor.

“I’ll be lying if I say I don’t get affected. I do get affected because ultimately, I, you know, do what I do for my audiences, and if I disappoint them, I don’t feel good,” the actress said.

“But I think somewhere in this journey of having been here now for a while, you actually start also working for yourself. And I think I learned that late in my career,” she added.

The actress further explained that while audience appreciation remains important to her, she has gradually learned not to burden herself with guilt if she has honestly given her best.

“I think for very long the initial focus was, and it’ll always be, I said ‘Janata Janata’ and I meant that. The focus will always be the audience. But if you truly start enjoying your work, you enjoy the process, and you tell yourself, not in a lie but in a genuine way, that I have done my best,” Sara said.

“That absolves you of any sort of mental guilt and self-flagellation for no reason. Then you feel like, I did my best, I did as much as I could, and now it’s up to God. That gets easier if you put in your best, and then that’s it,” she added. (IANS)
