Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan will be romancing each other in Imtiaz Ali's "Love Aaj Kal" but their off-screen equation was the centre of attention at a press conference here with reporters asking about their Valentine's Day plans.
Rumours of a romance started when Sara, during an episode of "Koffee with Karan", said she liked Kartik and would like to go on a date with him. Soon Ranveer Singh shared a picture of him introducing the two actors and making the heart sign, which was enough to start the Bollywood rumour mill.
When a reporter asked Kartik to finally clarify the status of their relationship, the actor said, "Jab inhone national television pe bola tha, uss time mujhe inpe crush aa gaya tha. Tabhi main phir sharmane laga tha (When she confessed her crush on me on national television, I also developed a crush on her. After that, I felt shy)".
"What should I say when you ask such questions. She said it straight to the camera but what should I say. Tu haan kar ya naa kar tu hai meri Sara (You say yes or you say no, you are my Sara)," he joked.
The next question to Kartik was who was his 'Love Aaj Kal' between Ananya Pandey and Sara. He sidestepped the question, saying "Sara you know it all. She is a good actor."
"Zoe represents youth today. The character is carrer driven and I totally agree with and that is the big similarity between me and the character."
