"I AM NOT A LESBIAN AT ALL. I AM A SWEET GIRL"
You must be surprised to see the cherubic-faced Sara Khan answering our daring and outrageous questions in Hard Talk this month. While she plays the innocent and guiltless bahu Sadhana in Bidaai, Sara is not much different from her onscreen image in real time. She's just as nave and childlike! But though just 20 years old, she is highly opinionated and doesn't flinch or shy away from answering even the boldest of these questions, truthfully and unabashedly. In a rare interview, she bares her heart out to us and talks on love, sex and relationships. So if you want to get to know the naughty side of Sara, simply read on…
Tell us about your first attraction.
My first attraction was Shahid Kapoor, because he is a chocolate boy, who is so cute and sweet. I got attracted to him when I saw Ishq Vishq. Oh God, he looked so cute in it!
What was your first date like? How far would you go on a first date?
I am still waiting for that. If I get a chance with Shahid Kapoor for a first date, I will surely go with him. I am waiting for Shahid to come out, so please don't write about it. If you write it, just focus it out, so that Ali (Merchant) won't read it. About how far I will go; till the express highway and the new sea-link! Will go for a long drive, so that till the time we come back, we will have a lot of time with one another.
What would you wear on a hot date?
I would wear hot-shorts and a cool t-shirt. I will be causal and not wear too much make-up. Even for a hot date, I think hot-shorts are enough. Because if a hot girl is wearing hot-shorts with a hot shirt, then it's going to be a blast! The car will blast…
Would you call yourself a flirt?
Yes, I do flirt a little. But it is harmless flirting. Also, anyone who says that he/she is not a flirt is lying.
What is your take on one-night stands?
For us Indian girls, it is not at all dignified. Our culture won't allow us to have one-night stands. It is not good, but people who do enjoy such things must be very broad-minded. It's their mentality. Good for them, but in my case, a girl should save herself for her husband or the one she wants to really be with.
Have you ever been attracted to someone of the same sex?
Come again? (then exclaims loudly) Nahi! Please, I can't be. I am not a lesbian at all. I am a sweet girl.
Has a girl ever hit on you?
I didn't notice any girl hitting on me because I have my colleagues and people around me, who are very nice. I haven't seen a lesbian come before me. Maybe, they have come in front but I did not realise. But girls have never hit on me from the time I have been in this industry. Thank God, no girl had ever done that and thank God I am attracted to guys! If any girl does hit on me, I will tell her, 'Listen, I am a very straight, normal girl and I don't want any of this'.
What are your takes on homosexuality and bisexuality?
I just don't understand what these homosexual people are doing! How can they have sex with the same genders? How can they hit on their same-sex people? How can bisexuals have sex with two different types of people? I think it's very unnatural. I think they are a disgrace. I think these people don't get people of the opposite sex. Or maybe they have flirted so much with the opposite sex that they want a change. I don't think God has made them like that; they themselves have created these feelings inside them.
What turns you on in a man?
It has to be his looks, eyes and his voice modulation. He should be very dashing and good looking and should be very polite, soft-spoken and elegant. He should also carry himself very well. And he should possess the aura that when he comes in front of me, I will be like 'Oh wow, who is this?'
How would you react if a guy made a pass at you?
I told you I am a flirt, so I'll flirt a bit with him. But if I come to know that the guy is hitting on me and that he really wants something from me, then I will maintain a distance. I will tell him bye, my mom is calling me!
What are your views on pre-marital sex?
If you are having sex with your boyfriend, I don't think that it's very bad. If you are really serious and planning to get married to a guy, then you can have sex. But if you keep changing your boyfriends, then I think it's not good for the guy, as well as the girl. I don't say that pre-marital sex is good, but if it's with the guy that you are getting married to, then it's okay. See, I'll tell you a natural thing, nobody in today's world waits for marriage. In small towns, even 15-year-olds are not virgins.
Do you think men always have sex on their minds?
Not always. Only when a girl attracts them. It's not only guys. Both the people create this situation. Girls attract the guys and so they have sex on their minds.
How much importance would you give to sex in a relationship?
I feel, for a relationship to be strong after marriage, I would rate sex as 8 on 10. Also, if they do not have sex, then they both will become homosexuals.
Do you see yourself in a purely physical relationship?
The guy needs to be emotionally attached to me. He needs to be in my good, bad, poor and rich times to support me. So no, I don't see myself in a purely physical relationship.
Do you think nice guys have a tough time getting the right girl?
Yes, because they get stuck. Also, the cunning girls always harass the nice guys. But I feel that my boyfriend Ali did get a good girl and even I got a good guy!
Why do men love bitches?
Because they feel that these girls are horny. But a man will never get married to a bitchy woman. He will flirt with her and enjoy his life with her but won't marry her. He will only get married to a sweet and innocent girl.
Have you experienced the casting couch?
No, I haven't. I got selected to work in this industry, when I was 16 years of age and when I was in Bhopal. I didn't go for any audition. These people came to me, took my audition and that's how I got the role. So I haven't experienced it till date and I have never heard about it either. I just want to keep myself away from all this. But I think it might be happening because there are so many people in this industry.
Showbiz entities are assumed to be loose. How would you react to such assumptions?
The reason this happens is that actor-actresses keep going out with so many people and I mean not having affairs, but they have to speak nicely and maintain relations to remain in the limelight. They have to be very friendly. Those people who have a low mentality and are narrow-minded don't understand this and they think they are sleeping around. For an appearance, we charge a fee, while a normal person never charges, so it happens.
Would you take back your partner who has strayed in a relationship if he regretted it later?
I will slap him, kick his ass and throw him out. I'll never take him back. I'll tell him go and enjoy your life along with that bitch, because I will not cheat on him.
What is your opinion on open marriages/open relationships?
This is not good, but I will say the same thing that I did about one-night stands. If both of them are okay with each of them seeing someone else, then it's mutual understanding. Enjoy the relationship!
Tell us about your wildest fantasy.
Please do not ask me my wildest fantasy; it's very wild. If I tell you, my parents will kill me and my boyfriend will ask me 'You can be so wild Sara?'
