Saba Pataudi on Sara's philanthropy work: 'Charity without calling paps'
While Sara Ali Khan continues to excel in her acting career, she also dedicates time to philanthropy. Recently, she was spotted providing food to the less fortunate outside a local temple in Juhu, Mumbai. However, her charitable act was interrupted by paparazzi, causing discomfort to the actor. Reacting to the incident, Sara's aunt, Saba Pataudi, disclosed that she too engages in charitable activities, away from the paparazzi's gaze.
First know what exactly happened
Upon realizing she was being filmed during her charitable act, Khan asked the photographers to stop recording. She expressed her distress saying, "Please mat karo. Mai aap logo se vinti kar kar thak gayi. Aap mat kijiye, please (Please don't do it. I'm tired of pleading with you all. Please don't do this)." This incident marked a departure from Khan's usual friendly demeanor toward the paparazzi.
Amid the drama, Pataudi supported Khan's plea for privacy
Following the incident, Khan's aunt and Saif Ali Khan's sister took to Instagram to share her thoughts. She revealed that she also engages in charitable acts every Saturday without seeking media attention. Referring to the video of Khan's encounter with the paparazzi, Pataudi stated, "I do the same every Saturday. Without calling paps (with a wink emoji). Don't film it. Takes away from the cause. She's trying to say the same (sic)."

Pataudi's comments sparked a discussion among online users on Reddit. Some interpreted her statement as criticism toward Khan for allegedly inviting the paparazzi herself, while others saw it as support for Khan's plea for privacy during her charitable act.
