Actress Sara Ali Khan has publicly expressed her wish to share screen space with Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, revealing during a television appearance that she feels like the only one in her family yet to do so. Her mother, actress Amrita Singh, and her grandmother, veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, have both worked with Bachchan at different points in their careers.

The KBC Moment That Sparked It All

Sara made the revelation on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18, appearing alongside co-star Ayushmann Khurrana to promote their upcoming film 'Udta Teer'. Seated across from host Amitabh Bachchan, Sara did not hold back her admiration — or her (self-described) jealousy.

She jokingly admitted that Ayushmann's collaboration with Bachchan in the 2020 film Gulabo Sitabo had made her envious, before turning the lens on her own household. 'I feel jealous at my own home because my mom has worked with you and my grandmother has worked with you, but you haven't worked with us,' Sara said, translating her remarks herself.

She then stated her aspiration directly: 'Now, in this film, as Ayushmann said, I am playing his wife, so now I want to graduate from that and I would like you to work with us too.'

What Ayushmann Said About Working With Sara

Ayushmann recalled his initial hesitation before collaborating with Sara, admitting he had preconceived notions given her film-family background. 'When I first worked with Sara, I had an impression that since she is from the industry, I didn't know what she would be like, but she is the sweetest and we connect on goofiness,' he said, adding that he would gladly work with her again if the opportunity arose.

Sara reciprocated with praise for Ayushmann's professionalism, describing him as a 'fabulous actor' who brings no tantrums to set and remains entirely committed to his craft.

Amitabh Bachchan Recalls Gulabo Sitabo

Bachchan, for his part, agreed warmly with Sara's assessment of Ayushmann. The megastar recalled that Ayushmann arrived consistently well-prepared on the sets of Gulabo Sitabo, showing remarkable patience even when Bachchan himself struggled to remember lines — a challenge he attributed to playing an elderly character in the film.

'He had so much patience, and he did not make a single mistake anywhere in the film, while I would still forget because I was playing the role of an old man, but Ayushmann's acting in Gulabo Sitabo was very beautiful,' Bachchan said.

The Family Legacy Behind Sara's Wish

The exchange carries a certain generational weight. Sharmila Tagore, Sara's paternal grandmother, was a leading actress of the 1960s and 1970s who worked alongside Bachchan during his rise. Amrita Singh shared the screen with him in a later era. Sara, now firmly established in her own right, clearly sees working with Bachchan as the natural next step in that lineage — and is not shy about saying so.

Whether the chemistry translates into an actual collaboration remains to be seen, but Sara's candid pitch on national television has certainly made the aspiration public.
