Amrita Singh raised Sara Ali Khan as a single mother, but the young actor has often spoken up about the special relationship she shares with her paternal grandmother, veteran actor Sharmila Tagore. At a recent event in Delhi, Sara opened up about how Sharmila has been extremely supportive in her life, despite the fact that her parents, Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan, divorced almost 20 years ago. Sara also added that Sharmila continues to share a special bond with Amrita.

As quoted by the Times of India, Sara said that even though her mother and father don’t live together, Sharmila shares a “very appropriate equation” with Amrita. She also added, “My mom doesn’t have parents, but if anything were to happen to me or Ibrahim, I know that she wouldn’t be alone because Badi Amma will be there, and that’s everything.”

Sara said that one can find a lot of cheerleaders when they are experiencing success in life, but Sharmila was there for her when she needed support. “I went through a phase in life when I needed support and Badi Amma came like an army. She was there for me. In times like that, you realise the true value of relationships,” she said.

Sharmila had earlier opened up about Amrita needing “time to cool down” after the separation. She shared on Koffee with Karan, “When you are together for such a long time, and you have two lovely children, then no breakup is easy. It’s difficult to have harmony at that stage, and it hurts. That stage was not nice. But I tried. That’s water under the bridge. She needed time to cool down. They worked it out together. It’s not just staying away, there are so many other things involved. It wasn’t a happy time for us, because Ibrahim was just three, and we were very, very fond of the children. Especially Tiger was very fond of Ibrahim, and he would say, ‘That’s a good lad’. And he didn’t get that time.”
