Sara Ali Khan was seen with mentor Karan Johar at Shahid Kapoor's 36th birthday bash.

All eyes are on Sara Ali Khan's big Bollywood debut. Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh's daughter has been roped in by Dharma Productions for her big screen debut and the 21-year-old will soon begin prepping up for her first Bollywood film. And the star kid was recently seen with her mentor Karan Johar at Shahid Kapoor's pre-birthday bash.

Bollywood's who's who was invited to the big bash and Sara was also on the guest list. Clad in a monochrome dress, Sara looked gorgeous as she made her way to the party with Karan Johar.

In fact, the two happily posed for the shutterbugs. It's been a while since Sara's debut has been making news but the details of her project have been kept under the wraps.

Meanwhile Sara's dad Saif Ali Khan has put all rumours to rest about disapproval of his daughter Sara being launched by Karan Johar and said he would be more than happy if the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil director gives her a film break. "I would love Sara to be launched by Karan Johar. He is one of the best that we have," Saif, 46, said in a statement.

The Phantom actor added, "I keep reading various reports where I am supposedly averse to her getting launched by Karan because she will apparently become another Alia Bhatt. "If Sara becomes as successful as Alia is then it will be a matter of pride and happiness for all of us," he added.

Sometime back Saif in an interview to Mumbai Mirror had said that he doesn't want to dissuade his daughter from joining film as she craves this excitement, creative fun and glamour.

He told the daily, "Who's to blame, it's in her genes. I remember on the first world tour we were on together, I spotted her peeking through the curtains backstage to watch the actors dancing on stage, mesmerised. That's when she decided this is what she wanted to do. Cinema has changed since and she's also realised there's a lot of angst in the profession, specially if you have not quite arrived yet. I worry about that, but what can I do?"

Though Sara Ali Khan is all set to make her debut in a Karan Johar directorial, daddy Saif Ali Khan says he would have wanted her to opt for a 'stable profession.' But he ascertains that it's one of the best jobs in India and both his kids want to work in films.

When Saif Ali Khan talks about his duties as a father, you realise what a doting dad he is. Brought up in filmy surroundings and having been in the business for decades now, it is surprising that the actor does not really want his kids to take up acting because of the �angst in the profession.�

Saif Ali Khan's daughter Sara Ali Khan is all set to make her Bollywood debut. The star kid has already bagged a meaty project with Karan Johar and would soon begin shooting for her big screen debut. While Saif is happy that his daughter is planning to take the legacy forward, like any other father, he wanted her to be in a more stable profession.

In an interview to Mumbai Mirror, the Phantom actor said that he doesn't want to dissuade his daughter from joining film as she craves this excitement, creative fun and glamour. "Who's to blame, it's in her genes. I remember on the first world tour we were on together, I spotted her peeking through the curtains backstage to watch the actors dancing on stage, mesmerised.

I worry about that, but what can I do?"

But at the same time, the doting daddy said that he is available for any guidance. "If she discusses her profession with me, she will get an opinion, but the decision is hers to make," he added. Sara's big Bollywood debut has already become the talk of the town and Saif is happy that she is in good hands. "Karan is good with newcomers and according to me, he is the perfect person for her," said the 46-year-old actor.

Saif Ali Khan's Children Sara and Ibrahim

It wouldn�t be surprising that even his son, who literally is a lookalike of Saif, wants to be a part of this glamor and dreamy world of entertainment. However, for now, his conversations are limited to his mark sheets, which Saif reveals he has never shown to him, his rugby matches and such other things about his college life. About son Ibrahim, Saif says, "He talks more of rugby and hockey and less about how exciting his academic career is. He's hidden his report card, I keep asking for it. But otherwise, he's settled well. He's poised and decent which is nice. Yes, both my kids want to work in films, it's one of the best jobs in India. I just don't want them to be disappointed which is why education is a good back-up."

Saif Ali Khan on naming son Taimur: Kareena and I loved the name

Saif Ali Khan speaks on his and Kareena Kapoor's decision on naming their son, Taimur, the trolling and how the baby resembles him.

After maintaining a stoic silence for long, Saif Ali Khan has finally opened up about naming his and Kareena Kapoor�s son, Taimur Ali Khan. Soon after couple revealed their son�s name, the baby was trolled. While Kareena and Saif refused to comment, her uncle Rishi Kapoor took on the trolls. Now, more than a month later, Saif speaks about his Kareena�s decision, the trolling and how the baby resembles him in an interview to Mumbai Mirror.

Taimur Ali Khan is NOT named after Turkish ruler

�I�m aware of the heritage of the Turkish ruler and my son was not named after him. He was Timur, my son is Taimur. Perhaps the root is similar but it�s not the same name. Taimur is an ancient Persian name meaning iron. Both my wife and I liked its sound and the meaning. In fact, of all the names I ran by Kareena, she liked this one the best because it�s beautiful and strong. Taimur was the name of a boy he�d grown up with and a cousin too. It�s an old family name like Sara who was also named after a cousin I admired.�

On Taimur being trolled for his name

I should have added a disclaimer, as they do in the movies, that any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is purely coincidental� Yes, there were some people who raised some objections but obviously just to look at medieval history and to make value judgments is, I think, ridiculous, and a lot of people have said that on my behalf. I feel quite confident that we don�t live in a right-wing society. As yet, India is still liberal and people are still open minded.

On his hopes for Taimur

Like me, Saif Ali Khan, he will be an international ambassador for his heritage and counter Islamaphobia. When people meet me they are surprised that I�m not a right-wing Muslim, my son too will be a liberal, balanced, open-minded guy

Kareena Kapoor think Taimur resembles Saif

He (Taimur) scowls a lot, passes wind and yells so Kareena thinks he�s a lot like me �a cranky, farty yeller!

On his children getting along

A lot of it has to do with their (Sara and Ibrahim) mother (Amrita Singh). As far as I�m concerned I have three children and it makes me happy when I see them together and getting along.

In an interview with Hindustan Times Saif Ali Khan spoke about his daughter Sara, who is making her debut in bollywood, in a film opposite Hrithik Roshan. Below are the excerpts.

Sara is also going to make her Bollywood debut soon.

I am very excited. I have a wonderful relationship with her, wherein I am like a guide, a friend and a philosopher. But we discuss lots of things. We went on a holiday to Italy, and spoke about art, life, and recently, about films as well. I�ve given her so much advice. I said, �Write them down and treat them like the Ten Commandments. It�s everything I have learnt. And your mother (Amrita Singh) also taught me so much when I first came to Mumbai�.

Give us a sneak peek into your Ten Commandments.

First, you must listen rather than talk. Everybody talks here, but silence is very interesting in Bollywood. Decide what kind of an actor you want to be and work hard. That�s the first thing. It�s a very creative and a wonderful job. I bless Sara for what she has learnt. She has wanted to do this since she was two years old, but I asked her to finish college first. In fact, she has done theatre in the US as well. She wants to enjoy the acting and not treat it as a superficial, glamourous profession. She has all my blessings and support. Sara and I have an interesting age gap � it�s not so big, so we can share a lot of things. So, the lines are blurred between father and brother anyway. I can�t be too strict with her, because I feel hypocritical. We have long chats and I enjoy them (smiles).

Are you going to be a protective father?

Sara doesn�t need me to be protective, but if she does, I will be. I am concerned and protective about her, but she can look after herself, and it�s not such a scary place. The world outside is scarier. We are still good and decent people in Bollywood, and there is still some class and grace. Tameez hai sabko yahaan (People are polite). Everyone knows everyone else. We might be a bit naughty, but we�re not bad (smiles). There�s a lot of s*** out there in the outside world.

Bollywood sees fresh faces debuting every year. They set out with dreams and hopes to try their luck in the glamorous film industry. And these days, they undergo a lot of preparation and training, so that they can make a mark with their first films. Here are heirs of acclaimed actors and hail from respected film families. The new year seems to be a special one, as many debutantes begin shooting for their new projects and a few look forward to their first releases. Take a look at some promising new faces, who aim to make a splash in their first year in showbiz.

Ahan Shetty

The son of action star Suniel Shetty and interior designer Mana Shetty, Ahan Shetty will soon begin shooting for his debut project in 2017 produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The youngster has apparently always aimed to become an actor in Hindi cinema. His debut movie is expected to release in 2018. Ahan is a trained actor and is also training under an action specialist as part of an extensive programme. He will be training for six months in London, UK.

Sara Ali Khan

Sara Ali Khan, daughter of actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, is also gearing up to make her foray into B-Town. Saif has said that Sara has wanted to be an actor since she was two years old, but she finished college because he wanted her to. The aspiring actor has worked in theatre productions in the USA, and, according to Saif, she wants to enjoy acting. The latest rumours say that Sara will make her debut in a Karan Malhotra film, which will be produced by Karan Johar.

Ishaan Khattar

Shahid Kapoor�s younger brother, Ishaan Khattar, also harbours acting dreams. There haven�t been any official announcements yet, but rumours suggest that Ishaan will star in the Bollywood remake of the successful Marathi film, Sairat opposite newcomer Jhanvi Kapoor.

Jhanvi Kapoor

Jhanvi Kapoor, the daughter of actor Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor, has been in the news for her much-awaited debut. The star-kid is said to be launched by film-maker Karan Johar, but there is no confirmation about her first movie yet. It has been rumoured, though, that Jhanvi will be making her debut in the Bollywood remake of hit Marathi film, Sairat.

Aadar Jain

The grandson of the late actor and film-maker, Raj Kapoor, Aadar has trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, USA, and has worked as an assistant director to Karan Johar. The young actor is set to be launched by Aditya Chopra, and the film will be directed by Habib Faisal.
