Sara Ali Khan has made a name for herself in the industry in very short time. She has worked with top of list actor's and directors and became a bankable actress. But many people don't know what inspired the Ivy League graduate to become an actress. That's right, Sara holds a degree from the prestigious Columbia University of New York.

In an old interview to a fashion magazine, Sara said, "The reason for which I have chosen to become an actor is the fact that I aspire for versatility in the genres of films that I do and in the kind of roles that I portray, and I don't think that you can necessarily have a lot of screen time in every single film that you are a part of. I think sometimes you do films because there are certain directors that you want to work with or there is a certain genre that you want to be a part of and while of course, in time and role and importance to the narrative are things that actors do consider and things that consider as well."

When asked about choosing so widely distinct films in the initial phase of her career, Sara said, "I think a balance in the kind of films I do and versatility in the roles that I can portray are also very important deciding factors for me. I was very keen to work with Rohit Sir, I am huge fan of the genre of work that he does and I think that it was a different opportunity for me than Kedarnath. Going forward, I think that of course, one does aspire for author backed roles and great characters to portray. I think that somewhere down the line the movie business is a collaborative one and sometimes there are films and stories that you want to be a part of even if you don't have a lot of screen time, so that's why I decided to be part of Simmba and Rohit sir was nice enough to cast me in it."
