Sara Ali Khan was nine, when her parents Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan parted ways. The now 26-year-old actor also added that witnessing her parents go through divorce at an early age, helped her “mature” quicker, and therefore, she was able to see their parents’ divorce from a long-term perspective.
“I’ve always had the tendency to mature a bit faster than others my age. And even at the age of nine-year-old, I think I had the maturity to see that these two people living together in our home were not happy. And suddenly, they were much happier living in two new homes. For instance, my mom, who I don’t think had laughed in 10 years, was suddenly happy, beautiful, and excited, like she deserves to be. Why would I be unhappy if I have two happy parents in two happy homes?" she said.
