Karan quizzed Sara about her equation with ex-bf Kartik Aayan at the recent episode of Koffee with Karan

In the recent episode of Koffee With Karan, Karan Johar asked Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday on the show if it was easy for them to remain friends, given the fact that they had dated Kartik Aaryan at some point in time. Sara replied, "I don't want to say, yeah it's all easy because then it comes across as a little more frivolous than it is. It isn't always easy. When you're involved with anybody, whether they are your friends, whether it's professionally or romantically. Especially if I am, I get involved, I get invested. So it's not like Oh yeah, It doesn't really matter. These things do affect you."

Sara added, "Ultimately you have to rise beyond that. And something I realised, there are actually no permanent predicaments in this business. There is no point in making permanent best friendships. pinky promises. I won't talk to the person. All these nevers don't really work. In my personal experience, there is no point making permanent best friendships, pinky promises, saying I'll never talk to you again. All these never and always nahi hota (doesn't happen)."

In an earlier season of Koffee With Karan, Sara expressed her wish to "date" Kartik Aaryan.

She acted with Kartik Aaryan in Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal 2. They were reportedly dating during the shoot of the film. However, they parted ways shortly after the release of the film.
