Sara Ali Khan is excited but nervous about performing at the 20th edition of International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards. She said that she will dance on hit songs of father Saif Ali Khan and mother Amrita Singh at the show.
“I have been watching IIFA Awards since childhood and have travelled with my father to watch it. She recalls an incident of two years ago when IIFA was held in New Jersey and she was in New York with Saif. She said, “I couldn’t attend the function because my father said, ‘why do you want to attend, you haven’t been invited?’ So, this year’s IIFA is really special to me because I have been invited. And I will be performing too. So I feel I have become a part of this industry.”
She will perform with Ranveer Singh and Madhuri Dixit Nene at the show. “I am rehearsing for my performance and simultaneously shooting for David (Dhawan) sir too. So, I don’t get enough time to rehearse but whatever time I get I try to make the most of it. It is pretty obvious that I am nervous about performing at the awards because it is the first time and that too with such big stars,” said she.
When questioned about the songs that were on her playlist for the performance, Sara said, “I will perform on my songs. Since it’s my first performance, I will also perform on the songs of my father and mother.
Sara will be seen in Coolie No 1 opposite to Varun Dhawan, and in Imtiaz Ali’s next, in which she co-stars with Kartik Aaryan. When asked about the filmmakers she wants to work with, she said, “I am working with David sir and Imtiaz (Ali) sir as of now. But I would also like to work with other filmmakers. I wish them to consider me in their films.”
Sara’s last release, Simmba opposite to Ranveer Singh in December 2018, was a box-office success.
