# Sara Ali Khan's Powerful Lesson: "Nobody Does Anything for You" – Growing Up with a Single Mom Shaped Her Strength Imagine realizing at just 9 years old that life's battles are yours to fight alone. That's the raw truth Bollywood star **Sara Ali Khan** shared about her childhood with single mother **Amrita Singh**, turning personal hardship into unshakeable independence.[1][4] Sara, daughter of Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan, opened up in a candid ETimes interview about how her parents' 2004 divorce—when she was 9 and brother Ibrahim was 5—forced her to grow up fast. With custody awarded to Amrita, Sara learned early: "*Koi aapke liye kuchh karne nahi wala*" (nobody is going to do anything for you). She credits her mother's resilience for instilling this mindset, emphasizing that while help exists, you're always the "mover and initiator" of your destiny. Stars may align, but waiting passively doesn't cut it.[1][3]
