Sara Ali Khan Says Udta Teer Role Has Depth She Hasn’t Played
Sara Ali Khan says her Udta Teer character is funny, original and carries a depth she hasn't explored on screen before — a new step in her slate.
Sara Ali Khan is positioning Udta Teer as a deliberate step away from roles she has already played. In a recent conversation about the film, she described the project as one of the freshest films she has been part of, and the character as a chance to show a layer audiences have not seen from her in this form.
That framing matters because Sara has been vocal about choosing parts that stretch her. Rather than slotting into one register, she has looked for stories that let her push beyond a comfortable image. Udta Teer fits that plan, but with a twist: the film is comic, and the character still carries emotional weight.
Why the role feels different
Sara’s description of the part is specific. The film may operate in a light, funny space, but the character is not one-note.
“I am playing a character that has a certain depth to her in a way that I haven’t really played before,” she said.
That combination—comedy on the surface, a deeper core underneath—is what she points to as the new ground. It lets her work in a fresher, more original setting while still finding an internal side of the performance.
What she is chasing on screen
For Sara, choosing a role is also about experiencing situations and emotions that may not be part of her everyday life. She described acting as a space to cross the limits of daily routine and express feelings through work.
“I’m just hoping to be able to tell more different kinds of stories and get to experience and then express emotions that I can’t in my daily life because our lives are just as limited as they are,” she added.
That explains the pattern in her choices. The goal is not simply to appear in different genres but to feel something different through each character. Udta Teer is the latest extension of that idea.
- A fresher story: she calls the film funny, new and original.
- A layered character: the part has a depth she has not played this way before.
- A wider range: acting lets her express emotions beyond her own daily life.
What it adds to her upcoming slate
Sara has previously spoken about wanting to take on varied characters, and her Udta Teer comments reflect that approach. The project gives her a chance to work in a comic setting while playing someone with deeper shades, and it adds another distinct role to a slate that appears built on variety rather than repetition.
For audiences, the promise is clear: a new side of Sara Ali Khan, placed inside a story she describes as fresh and original.
