A little research on Sara Ali Khan, and the first thing that pops up is her mammoth family tree where on one hand her Badi Amma and veteran star Sharmila Tagore is related to Rabindranath Tagore, while her grandfather was a nawab with royal lineage. However, she had no idea that she was also related to the late superstar Dilip Kumar. 

On the latest episode of Mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist Sara shed light on her maternal grandmother Rukhsana Sultana, a socialite and an eminent personality in Delhi, who was slightly controversial during the Emergency era. When asked if she had any stories to tell, Sara revealed, “My grandmother passed away when I was 9 months old. So, I know nothing but just tremendous loss. I just know that she always had red lipstick on and she had these lovely sunglasses. She used to do yoga and she was a healthy person. She loved Paris she loved history and she loved culture, which just makes me feel a lot of FOMO (fear of missing out) because I think I would have really enjoyed and appreciated growing up with somebody like that. Also would have given my mom a lot more support because she's done it all alone.”
