Sara Ali Khan, who recently featured in Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal, revealed that she wanted to "pretend to have a cardiac arrest" in order to skip a movie narration in an interview with East India Comedy.

She giggled and answered, "Well, five worthy of remembering, because I am doing five films." Sara Ali Khan has featured in three films and has two projects in line. Talking about a "weird, funny narration," Sara said, "There was this one time," she paused, sighed and added, "I'm not going to say much, because he said so much." The 24-year-old actress disclosed that the narrator was a man and said, "That's all, those are the only leads."
Narrating the incident, Sara Ali Khan said, "I went to the restroom with my phone, three hours in, and I told my mother (Amrita Singh), 'Mom, I know that we are all professional and we should be thankful for these opportunities and thank god and wow, I'm a good girl, but can I pretend to have a cardiac arrest? Is that allowed?' She said 'no, you cannot' so I said, 'Should I faint? Should I throw up? What do I do? Can you say something?' and then she told me that I have to go back with professionalism and continue till the end."
Sara added, "Anyways, five and a half hours later, I'm at my home, and I told my mother, 'I really just hate you, I don't want to talk, I don't want to hear anything. I just want to sleep.'" The Kedarnath actress did not reveal the name of the director or if that particular film went on floors or not.
