Sara Ali Khan graced the most controversial chat show Koffee with Karan season 7 with Janhvi Kapoor. The host Karan Johar induced the pair to talk about their friendship, relation status, work life, and more. Speaking on tasting early success she revealed what she went through when Love Aaj Kal failed at theaters.
Sara is one of the most promising actresses of this generation working in films like Kedarnath, Simmba, Love Aaj Kal, and Atrangi Re. She flew on success parachute after being lauded for Simmba and Kedarnath. Apparently, she later plunged to the ground when Love Aaj Kal was backlashed.
Love Aaj Kal is an Imitiaz Ali movie remade on Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan’s iconic movie in the same name. The film featured Kartik Aaryan opposite Sara Ali Khan. It received mixed reviews from the audience and critics. Sara opened up about the poor performance of her film at the box office at the start of her career.
Acting in a remake of her dad’s film the actress said: “Kedarnath and Simmba released in the same month, December 2018. I think I was given much more love and adulation than I deserved and was put up on the pedestal I thought I couldn’t have lived up to. But suddenly, one Friday, on February 14, that Love Aaj Kal was a Happy Valentine’s Day slap on my face. Reviews that were coming out were not good, it didn’t do well at the box office. It was a jolt because of what happened after Kedarnath and Simmba.”
Karan Johar later asked Sara about Saif Ali Khan’s reaction to her films. To this, she responded he likes all her movies unless it is a remake of his film, indicating to the remake of Love Aaj Kal. Sara said: “As long as I am not remaking his films, he likes my films. I think we are good there.”
