Sara Ali Khan’s recent saree appearance at Cannes 2023 brought to mind for admirers the late grandmother Sharmila Tagore. Sara’s reaction to the parallels was as follows.
After making her Cannes red carpet debut in an Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla lehenga, actor Sara Ali Khan wore another creation by the designer duo on day 2 of the ongoing international film festival. She wore a monochrome fusion saree-style outfit, which reminded fans of her grandmother, veteran actor Sharmila Tagore. In response to the comparisons, Sara called her ‘badi amma (grandmother)’ the ‘epitome of beauty and grace’.

Reacting to a collage of her Cannes look and one of Sharmila Tagore in a similar hairstyle decades ago, Sara wrote on Instagram Stories on Thursday, “Epitome of beauty and grace – my lovely badi amma (hug emoji)… Even the suggestion of this comparison is beyond flattering (heart eyes emojis).” Sara is the daughter of actor Saif Ali Khan and ex-wife, actor Amrita Singh.
