Saba Ali Khans Emotional Note For Sara On Metro In Dino Release

“I wish I’d been there on this journey with you!” A loving shoutout As Sara Ali Khan’s anthology film Metro… In Dino released in cinemas on July 4, 2025, her aunt and mentor Saba Ali Khan Pataudi posted a tearfully emotional note on Instagram. With some precious baby photos of Sara, baby brother Ibrahim, grandmother Sharmila Tagore, and herself, Saba penned: “Sara… While I don’t travel in a metro, I sure wish I’d been there on this journey with you! Babysitting you, watching you grow… Holding you in my lap… You are protecting Iggy, while Iggy now protects you too! And all your brothers. And the father… Moments with my Amma, our last premiere together… So proud. Love You Always. Keep shining.” This private musing presents a poignant picture of their relationship, one of warmth, nostalgia, possessiveness, and all-encompassing love. Among the shared photos, one is a playful moment of little Sara hugging a giant teddy bear, another one finds her consoling tearful Ibrahim, and another one is a family outing with Saba and Sharmila Tagore. These spontaneous glimpses speak to the playful and protective role Sara played even as a kid. The comments were soon flooded by fans: past photos resurfaced, hearts were warmed, and the thread was abuzz with love symbols and nostalgic comments. Metro… In Dino, helmed by Anurag Basu, is not only an ode to Sara’s growth; it’s a tale that reminisces about her journey. The anthology delves into four different love tales set against the backdrop of India’s metro cities—Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Bangalore—with Sara acting opposite Aditya Roy Kapur.  It also boasts seniors like Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh. The movie opened to positive reception, with its ensemble cast, emotional storyline, and retro but apt themes of current relationships and the mayhem of urban living being universally acclaimed. Saba, a talented jewelry designer and keeper of the Pataudi-Bhopal legacy, has ever been Sara’s steadying presence. Her relationship with Sara goes beyond the usual auntliness; there’s a mentor’s pride and big sister’s advice in the way she helps shape Sara. The affectionate message also highlights how family keeps Sara grounded, particularly as she faces the stresses of Bollywood. Saba’s reference to “moments with Amma” lent weight to an emotional value, underlining Sharmila Tagore’s abiding influence. The post resonated with fans since it perfectly balanced stardom and ordinariness, love and protection, and nostalgia, reminding us that stars are from real, loving families. Sara has quickly become one of the most promising stars of Bollywood. With her debut in Kedarnath (2018), she has already given blockbusters such as Simmba, Love Aaj Kal, and also recently Sky Force, a patriotic drama based on India’s 1965 airstrike. She’s also a fashion icon: at Metro… At the Dino song launch, she sported a Gen Z-approved blue mini dress with a sensational dramatic bow back, which stole the social media limelight. One entertaining highlight: during the trailer launch, Sara included her parents, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, as her favorite Bollywood married couple among their responses, bringing a personal and warm touch to promotions. An adult transition: Unlike her previous films, this anthology presents her with opportunities to delve into complex emotional stories, marking her growth from youthful charm to mature actor. Learning from industry gurus: Sharing the screen space with gurus like Neena Gupta and Pankaj Tripathi is an opportunity to learn. Bringing art to life: The subject of the film, protection, coming of age, and love within the family mirror Saba’s emotional note, reflecting how personal experiences add value to Sara’s on-screen persona. Saba Ali Khan’s lovely message is not just an aunt’s pride; it’s a story of mentorship, family bonding, and earthy love. As Metro… In Dino, which represents the career high point of Sara’s career, this heartfelt tribute grounds her story, making audiences connect with her both to her glamour and also with the family sagas that shape her. The posted pictures and nervous childhood memories clearly remind us there’s a lifetime of love, memories, and hope behind every actor. And today, as Sara embarks on a new movie chapter, her family’s support, particularly Saba’s, remains her strongest pillar. So here’s to Sara Ali Khan, her passion journey, and the gorgeous bond that keeps transforming her on-screen and off.

2027: Kwankwaso Not Contesting On Our Platform NNPP

The New Nigeria Peoples Party says its 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, do not have its platform to contest against President Bola Tinubu and or  any other  presidential  candidate at the moment in 2027. The NNPP  National Chairman,  Dr Agbo Major, made this known in a statement  on Saturday. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that  Major was speaking on the backdrop of claims by Buba Galadima that Kwankwaso will stay and run for presidency on the NNPP platform. Galadima, who claimed that there is no evidence that Kwankwaso is joining the All Progressives Congress as speculated, said they would “strategically stay in the NNPP until the whistle is blown for 2027  politics,”  urging Nigerians to support Kwankwaso to take over as president. Agbo stated that the NNPP platform is closed to Kwankwaso and Galadima, who had long been expelled from its fold for anti party activities. ‘The NNPP had long expelled Kwankwaso and Galadima and so,  they no longer speak for us nor can they use our platform for any political contest. “Our Memorandum of Understanding with the Kwankwasiya Movement, led by Kwankwaso ended shortly after the 2023 presidential election. “We cannot even allow Kwankwaso for whatever reason to return on the NNPP fold because of the problems and internal wranglings he created for us. “Kwankwaso  led us into unnecessary litigation and even changed our party logo to the Kwankwasiya logo, all in an attempt to hijack the leadership of the party. “It was the court’s interventions that led to INEC changing back to our Logo that they submitted after a Kangaroo convention in Abuja,” he said . He said that Kwankwaso must be counting on another free ticket like he got for the 2023 presidential election but it would not happen again. “Certainly, Kwankwaso  can never join any political party where he will not have the chance of leadership. “Kwankwaso and his group remain expelled and we will not readmit them because they betrayed our trust massively. “He does not have the pedigree to match President Tinubu in any contest and so his ambition is dead on arrival,” he said. The NNPP chairman insisted that though it is Kwankwaso’s right as a Nigerian to seek to contest for any office, he should do so without getting the party involved in any of his antagonisms against the President. He disclosed that the NNPP is being approached by some intending aspirants and  shall dwell on that at the appropriate time. “Whoever will emerge as the NNPP 2027 presidential candidate will do so, following due process and constitutionality. “We will no longer handover our ticket on a platter of gold, and definitely not to someone who betrayed our trust and is no longer on the party,” Major  added. He urged Nigerians to disregard utterances against the Presidency and APC by Kwankwaso and his group,  claiming they are speaking  for the  NNPP. “The NNPP as a party believes in constructive criticisms of issues and not against personalities or other political parties. We advise Kwankwaso to float his own party and use it for his own agenda. “NNPP has moved on and can’t be dragged into unnecessary controversies again,” he added. NAN
