In an unexpected moment of vulnerability, Sara Ali Khan has admitted in a recent interview that she once felt jealous of fellow actress Alia Bhatt, even confessing that she had "dehumanized" her as a competitor during her early days in the industry. The revelation adds a rare layer of honesty to the often-glamorous facade of Bollywood celebrity dynamics.
A Moment of Self-Awareness
Speaking during a panel discussion about competition and self-worth in the film industry, Sara acknowledged the pressure of constant comparisons—especially for young actresses navigating their identities. "I didn’t see her as a person for a while, just someone I was compared to. That wasn’t fair to her or to me," she said.
This level of openness is uncommon in Bollywood, where stars often downplay rivalries or sidestep questions about industry relationships. Sara’s comments struck a chord with fans, many of whom praised her emotional maturity and ability to recognize her past flaws.

Alia Bhatt: The Benchmark?
Alia Bhatt has been considered one of the finest actresses of her generation, with multiple awards and critically acclaimed roles to her credit. Sara, who debuted with Kedarnath in 2018, was quickly pitted against Alia by media and fans alike—an experience she now says affected her perception.
She added that learning to view Alia as a peer rather than a threat helped her grow, both personally and professionally. “It’s liberating to realize that success is not a zero-sum game,” she remarked.
Bollywood’s Changing Narrative
Sara’s confession points to a healthier shift in the conversation around female rivalry in Bollywood. More actresses are now speaking out about the unrealistic comparisons and the emotional toll they can take. As audiences mature, so do the stars.
