In a recent interview with Galatta India, Sara said, “I was born to a secular family, in a sovereign, secular, democratic republic,” and added that she has never felt ‘the need’ to be outspoken about injustices because she doesn’t believe in speaking out unnecessarily. But, she said, “The spirit of standing up against what is wrong is within me. So, if I see it happening to not just me, but anybody around me, I will stand up.”

Sara further added that she is bothered when the audience doesn’t like her work, but her personal choices are out of bounds. On being asked about her ‘surname’ and ‘family tree’, Sara responded, “My religious beliefs, my food choices, how I decide to go to the airport, that’s my decision, and I’ll never apologise for that.”
