Now it is incredible that Alaia is making her debut but despite this Saif is asked why he chose her over his real life daughter, Sara Ali Khan who also made her debut last year and gained recognition for her work in Kedarnath and Simmba.Saif said why he chose Alaia over Sara in his recent media interaction. He said that the makers wanted a fresh face which masses could connect with instantly.
