Speaking at the event, the 'Atrangi Re' actress said that there could be so many things that could have gone wrong post the attack, but they did not, which is why the family is filled with gratitude. She highlighted the fact that in life one needs to be filled with immense gratitude and continue to practice the same every day. 

Sara said, "It makes you realize what truly matters. The entire family only felt gratitude because it could have gone so wrong. I am so grateful that everything is fine. It was a reminder almost of the life we have. We all talk about practising mental health. Being grateful for your life is so important. And moments like that make you realise it."
