She stood by her casting, noting she knew it suited the story's context perfectly. “All the noise is on social media, right? And I’m not very active. I didn’t engage with it much… I also believe everyone has their own opinion. And, I truly believe in ‘live and let live’… It’s their opinion. It doesn’t influence how I think… I knew the story, and I knew it was justified, and that’s all,” Sara said.

He’s equally invested in what I do and in what the set and others are contributing. That’s really important. He brings everyone together,” she added.
