On October 17, 2023, she received the National Award for Best Actress for her powerful performance in Gangubai Kathiawadi.

In a recent conversation at NDTV Yuva, Sara Ali Khan opened up about it and said, “When Alia got the National Award, I was like, 'God, she got it; she has a kid also; her life is set.'”

However, the Zara Hatke Zara Bachke actress later realized that she had overlooked the struggles and challenges the Jigra actress must have faced to reach that point. 

She said, “I, as an actor, dehumanized her.” Acknowledging the depth behind success, Sara emphasized that every achievement comes with its own hardships, reminding everyone that there are always two sides to the story.

Sara Ali Khan also opened up about the importance of understanding both sides of a story, explaining that envy often stems from a lack of information. She pointed out that people tend to admire success without knowing the struggles behind it. She added that jealousy arises because one only sees the achievements, not the hard work and challenges leading up to them.
