Actress Sara Ali Khan says she feels proud to be Saif Ali Khan's daughter, and hopes she will get the opportunity to prove herself in the film industry. "Honestly, I am still Saif Ali Khan's child and that will never change.

It (being Saif's daughter) is a tag I am proud of, so if it (the tag) exists, it is fine. If people like my work then it is a good thing. I hope that I get the opportunities to prove myself," said Sara.

While on Bollywood bloodlines, the budding actress is constantly being compared with her contemporaries-Janhvi Kapoor, daughter of the late Sridevi and Boney Kapoor, and Ananya Panday, daughter of Chunky Pandey.

"I feel all three of us are very young girls. I understand why it (the comparison) happens but to compare one person with another just doesn't make any sense.

I think three of us are very different as people, as actors and in general. So, I don't see the point in comparing. They are my contemporaries and friends, of mine and I wish them the best and I hope they wish me the best for my next film, too," she said.

Interestingly, Imtiaz Ali has made a version of 'Love Aaj Kal' with Sara's father in 2009. The film co-starred Deepika Padukone, Giselli Monteiro, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor. It was commercially successful and critically acclaimed.

Sara knows there will obvious comparison between the two films.

"We haven't made a sequel of 'Love Aaj Kal' (of 2009). Our film represents how young people love each other in today's time.

I think my father, Deepika (Padukone), Imtiaz (Ali) sir and Dinoo (Dinesh Vijan) made a fantastic film in 2009 about how people used to love each other back then. Now, we have made the same effort, somewhere might be a comparison," the young actress said.

She added: "I don't think Kartik has tried to play my father's character or I have tried to play Deepika's character. I think we are all individually telling a new story with different characters.

Our film's story and characters are different, and I feel today the definition of love is different. So, I feel we all have come together to showcase that.

Comparisons that are not really necessary will, I guess, continue because that's what thrives here (the film industry)."
