Keeping the Indian tricolour near her coronary heart within the type of a dupatta, actor Sara Ali Khan, 28, represents the youth of India — conscious, educated, assured — as we chat along with her after an unique Independence Day photoshoot. “India is a democracy and the first step is recognising that you should always have the freedom of choice. That, for me, is at the heart of independence. As a youth of this country, I want the freedom to choose what I want. I feel everyone’s opinion should be respected,” she says.

Are if we, as a society, are there but, or are someplace shut, and she or he responds, “I don’t think it (freedom of choice and opinion) is a destination; it is a journey. You can always grow and have more equality, more diversity and more respect.”
“Judgement,” says Khan, including, “I am a female actor and I believe we have come a long way, but still have a long way to go. From judging women to actors, there’s always so much judgement in our country. I would like independence from these stereotypes.”
Khan will probably be seen essaying the function of a freedom fighter within the upcoming movie Ae Watan Mere Watan. “I just finished shooting for the film. There are so many facets of our Indian history, especially the freedom struggle, which we don’t understand. It is not just the freedom fighters we may not know about, it was a generation of sacrifice, bravery and constant endeavour. It is not just one day. I feel 365 days are too less to celebrate and be thankful and grateful for what we have as a country today,” she ends
