Sara Ali Khan sets things straight.

In an industry like Bollywood where stars are pitted against each other, the Simmba star and Janhvi Kapoor are proof that women can be friends in the entertainment industry, irrespective of rumours stating otherwise.

Last year, Jahnvi Kapoor had said in an interview that she was not in competition with Saif Ali Khan's daughter Sara Ali Khan. "It’s sad that sometimes we make it about how only one of the girls can be successful -- we are very capable of being happy for each other. I think she’s stunning, she is full of life and energy."

Adding to that, in a recent interview with Filmfare, Sara was asked about what she thinks of her contemporary, to which she replied, "She’s stunning as well. This whole thing (rivalry) about Janhvi and me is so funny. We’re both extremely comfortable and confident in our skin."

"The first five times people made collages of us on Instagram asking ‘who’s better?’ we sent it to each other. Now we don’t because it happens every week. But seriously, the industry is huge and has place for everyone. You’ve got to be comfortable in your skin and respect the other’s job as well. I respect hers, she respects mine and at the risk of speaking for her, we respect even those people who make those collages. Their money also depends on it. Do it, we don’t mind. Some days she’ll look better, some days I’ll look better. It’s all good."

On the work front, Sara's Simmba opposite Ranveer Singh has earned INR400 crore and she has reportedly signed her next film with Imtiaz Ali's, in which she will co-star with Kartik Aryan.
