While the fans admire her carefree style, she has often been on the receiving end of social media trolling too. Sara has now opened up about whether she gets affected by the trolling.

Sara Ali Khan talks about social media trolling and people calling her ‘joker’

During a conversation with Gallata India, Sara Ali Khan talked about social media trolling and said that she indeed gets affected by the criticism around her work but comments on her personality don’t bother her. The actress also admitted that her ‘entertaining persona’ sometimes goes against her because the audience doesn’t know the flipside of her personality.

“Because people think I’m funny because people think I’m silly or goofy, they think I can’t be more than that. And I actually am silly and goofy, it comes from an organic space. But then there’s also this flipside.” she said while adding that her family and friends understand both sides of her personality i.e. entertaining and serious and they have made her think that the audience will understand it too but sometimes they end up thinking, “Yeh toh joker hai, how can she get serious?” (She’s a joker)

Further adding how she doesn’t get affected by personal comments, the Murder Mubarak actress said, “That doesn’t bother me at all. The work of mine that’s in the public domain is the filmmaking, so if I’m not hitting the right note as an actor, as a dancer, or in a performance at an award function, and if people don’t like it, then I’ll feel bad. But how I am as a person is my business unless I’m trying to marry one of these people, which I’m not,”
