Further, in the same conversation, Sharmila mentioned that even though her son, Saif had reacted drastically to all the attention, she had learnt a thing from his daughter, Sara Ali Khan. Sharmila explained how Sara loves to accept things and not fight with reality. She also explained Taimur and Jehangir's reactions and shared:
“But this is different. I have learnt from Sara that you need to accept and not fight it because that's the reality. It's ok. They will take it in their stride. But they (grandchildren) feel the tension of the media, they feel very important and special. And how that will pan out we don't know. It's not their achievement, it's their parents'. So who knows.”
Amongst all her grandkids, Sharmila Tagore shares an unbreakable bond with her eldest granddaughter, Sara Ali Khan. Proof of the same is often found in their public appearances. For instance, on February 26, 2023, at the premiere of Sharmila's upcoming film, Gulmohar, Sara was also present.
