Sara Ali Khan hints at her breakup with Kartik Aaryan in 2020: 'It started getting worse'

Sara Ali Khan had success with her first two movies, Kedarnath and Simmba, but struggled with her releases in 2020, including Love Aaj Kal 2 and Coolie No 1. The actor recently admitted that her "worst phase" in life was the year 2020.

In an interview on Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast, The Ranveer Show, Sara revealed how the year 2020 started with a split and ended with two flops in her filmography. During the filming of Love Aaj Kal, Sara was said to be dating Kartik Aaryan, however the two split up just before the movie's release in February 2020.

“2020 just got progressively worse. It started with a breakup and kept getting worse. It was a very bad year and most of it is on the internet,” Sara said. 

The actor also addressed the online trolls who targeted her for her performance in the Imtiaz Ali film. She claimed that because she was in a poor personal space at the time, trolling didn't upset her.

“Sometimes, when you know you deserve the trolling or when something is really bad, the fact that it is on the internet is so incidental and so trivial compared to the fact that it happened, that it doesn’t really matter. If you’re heartbroken, miserable, exhausted, scared, nervous, kya farak padta hai 20 logg padd rahe hain, khud apne andar jwalamukhi ho raha hai (It doesn’t matter that 20 people are reading about it since you are so disturbed yourself), that it doesn’t matter,” she shared.

Sara's next movie appearance will be alongside Vicky Kaushal in an untitled Laxman Utekar movie. Moreover, she is working on Gaslight, a film with Vikrant Massey that will debut on Disney+ Hotstar on March 31.
