Bollywood’s newest talent, Sara Arjun, is winning hearts off-screen as much as she did on-screen in Dhurandhar. The actress recently took to Instagram to share an emotional, heartfelt tribute to director Aditya Dhar, calling him “the real Dhurandhar” and praising the guidance and trust he offered during her debut.
In her post, Sara described Dhar as “invincible, yet grounded; brilliant, yet humble,” highlighting the rare combination of talent, wisdom, and humility that left a lasting impact on her. She also praised his leadership on set, recalling his calm, patient, and steady approach. “You were the strength that held us all together… not the silence before the storm, but the silence that caused it,” she wrote.

Sara credited Dhar for helping her dream bigger and trust herself. She referenced his now-famous mantra on set, “Arjun ki nazar sirf aankh par thi”, saying his clarity of vision inspired her to stay focused and fearless. Most importantly, she noted, Dhar never made her feel like a newcomer—he created a safe, nurturing space where she could grow, experiment, and evolve. “You made me feel capable,” she added.
The tribute goes beyond professional gratitude—Sara called Dhar one of the greatest gifts of her Dhurandhar journey. “Thank you for giving me the rarest gift of all, a safe space to dream big,” she concluded, leaving fans touched by her sincerity.
Sara’s post offers a glimpse into the power of mentorship in Bollywood, proving that behind every great debut is someone who guides, inspires, and believes in the talent of the next generation.
