In a candid moment at a recent NDTV event, Sara Ali Khan opened up about her thoughts on fellow actor Alia Bhatt and the feelings of envy that can arise when witnessing someone else's success.

Reflecting on Alia Bhatt's recent National Award win, Sara said, “When Alia got the National Award, I was like, ‘God, she got it, she has a kid also, her life is set’. But I don’t know what she went through to get that. I, as an actor, dehumanised her.” Sara further elaborated on how success is often seen in isolation, without recognizing the struggles that come with it. “You don’t know, she must have had challenges and disappointments too, to reach where she has. But I didn’t realise what went into it. There are two sides to every coin.”

The actress, known for her grounded persona and openness, spoke about how envy often stems from incomplete understanding. “Most often, when we are envious of other people, we feel so without all the information. We are envious because we just see that success and then we want that. We don’t see what goes behind it; we never see it. Envy means blindness.”

Sara’s words resonated with many who struggle with comparing themselves to others, especially in a high-pressure industry like Bollywood. Her statement serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy and perspective in both personal and professional spaces.

Alia Bhatt, who was honoured with the National Film Award for Best Actress for her performance in Gangubai Kathiawadi, has often spoken about the dedication and hard work that has shaped her journey. She welcomed her first child with actor Ranbir Kapoor in late 2022 and continues to balance personal milestones with professional success.

Meanwhile, Sara Ali Khan is also carving her own path in the industry and recently she celebrated the immense love she received for her character Sowmya in the romantic comedy Zara Hatke Zara Bachke which completed 2 years a couple of days ago. The actress has also frequently used public platforms to speak about mental health, self-reflection, and the challenges of being in the public eye. Her latest remarks are being appreciated for their sincerity and depth.
