Actress Sara Ali Khan, who is all geared up for her next project ‘Ae Watan Mere Watan', shared about one quality of her grandmother and veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, that she wanted to portray in the upcoming m🦂ovie.

Sara and Sharmila appeared on the finale episode of the quiz based reality show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 15’, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan.

In a conversation with the duo, megastar Big B said to💎 Sara: “You address Sharmila as Badi Amma. It's a beautiful relationship. Did you learn so💛mething from her?”

Replying to the cine icon, the 28-year-old actress said: “When I see Badi Amma, I feel that her beauty is effortless. Her voice is melodious but her words are serious. My character in my upcoming film, 🃏'Ae Watan Mere Watan' needed these qualﷺities.”

“I remember when I called Badi Amma and asked her, ‘How do you express with your eye🐈s using a few words, effortlessly?” she shared.

Amitabh agreed to Sara and said: “You are absolutely right. I have worked with her in many films. Let me tell you something. I'm not saying it just because she's here. If she doesn't like a dialogue or an 🍬action, she refuses to do it out𓂃rightly. ‘I won't do what you want me to do.’ When the director said, ‘how can you do this?’ she used to say ‘I’ll do it my way’.”

“The sequence is shot as per her wish. When ✅we see it later on the silver screen, we think, ‘she was right,” said the 81-year-old actor.

Sha🦹rmila smiled and said: “I have been wrong a few times. A𓄧fter all, the director is the boss on the set. At times I was stubborn and that's not right. We must listen to the director. I mean a director is the boss.”

Amitabh lauded the ‘Waqt’ actress and said she was a bold actor back in the day aꦚnd ahead of her times.
