The promotions of Kedarnath is the first time that the 25-year-old actress has stepped out for interviews and media interaction. She is flooded with questions about the decision of her getting into films and her royal family, including her father, Saif Ali Khan’s second wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan and her half-brother, Taimur Ali Khan.

In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, when Sara was asked about her equation with her brother Ibrahim Khan and half-brother, Taimur Ali Khan, she retorted, "Both are bundles of cuteness and equally naughty. Their naughtiness takes different shapes because they are of different sizes. Taimur’s still a child and I can’t wait for him to grow up to bond with him. Ibrahim’s 18 and we’re very close. There’s nothing about me he doesn’t know while I know just 10 per cent of his life because he can be somewhat shady (chuckles). My mom, Ibrahim and I are a close unit."
When asked if Ibrahim too wants to join the film industry, the big sister proudly replied that he will be a better actor than her. Sara stated, “He does and from what I’ve seen of him on stage, he’ll be a better actor than me. Recently he gave me a page from his play. I’ve no idea if he had got his lines right because I couldn’t take my eyes off his face. He’s that good. But wanting to be an actor and understanding what it’s about and knowing this is what you want to do is a journey. I think he’s 99 per cent there.”
Recalling the moment when she told her mother that she wanted to be an actress, Sara shared, "When I weighed 96 kg. I’d been putting on weight rapidly, despite warnings, and when I was this huge nerd who’d just completed her second year at the (Columbia) University, I told mom one night that I wanted to be an actress. She pointed out that I had everything going for me and had let it all get away. But the thing about me is if I’m totally convinced about something, without any kind of external pressure, I will do it. In one year, I completed the course which was still a year away from completion and managed to lose all the extra weight."

In an interview, Kareena Kapoor Khan had said that Sara will be one of the brightest stars as she is a rare combination of beauty and brains. Speaking about her equation with Bebo, Sara remarked, "Much as I appreciate people related to me saying sweet stuff about me, I cannot take it too seriously. I have said this about my parents, best friends and I’ll say it about Kareena too. Saying that I’m going to be a star… Well, she’s not going to say I am not going to make it, right? But it’s the audience who will decide if they like me or not."
Spilling the beans about the dynamics between them, Sara went on to say, "There’s never been even a moment of confusion in my equation with Kareena and problems arise only when you’re unsure of the tonality. Kareena was never endeavouring to be my mother. She is a nice, very genuine person. My father doesn’t live with us, but he’s always been there for me whenever I need him and anybody who makes him happy, makes me happy. It means the world to me to have both my parents happy and anyone who facilitates that is on my list of people I love."
Sara Ali Khan's bua, Soha Ali Khan is also eagerly waiting to watch her on the big screen. In a DNA report, Soha was all praises for her niece and was quoted as saying, "She is very talented. I liked the promo of Kedarnath and I liked her work in it. I saw the episode of Koffee with Karan and that also I enjoyed watching." She added, "She is confident, talented and she has got the right film to launch her, the promo of which looks exceptional. I think she is going to make a big impact and I wish her all the best."
