Sara continued, "I am a die-hard Sridevi fan. But I think it would be blasphemous to even say I aspire to be like her. Because it is impossible. I will say it. It is impossible to touch her.

Sara also made a revelation that she took cues from Sridevi's dance numbers for songs in Simmba. "I remember when I was shooting for one my songs for Simmba. It was a romantic song. I was stalking Sridevi. I was watching Meethe Meethe Geet Mitwa again and again on my playlist. Then we had to this high-energy number, I was looking at Hawa Hawai," she said.
"I felt if you could do one per cent of this also na, one is home. She, I can't say is somebody I aspire to be because that's impossible, she definitely is someone one can draw inspiration from continously," the actress concluded.
