Sara Ali Khan hasn’t kept her crush on Kartik Aaryan a secret. Ever since she first spoke about it in an episode of Koffee with Karan, she has been asked about how the story has progressed. In a new interview, the Kedarnath and Simmba actor said that her mother, Amrita Singh, has given her some advice about the matter.

Sara in an episode of Karan Johar’s chat show had said that she wants to date Kartik, to which her father and co-guest, Saif Ali Khan retorted, “Has he got money? If he has money he can take her.”

The two were introduced to each other on camera at the recent Lokmat Awards by Sara’s Simmba co-star, Ranveer Singh. Playing cupid, the actor even got them to hold hands, and with a cheeky smile, said, “Glad, you guys have met.”Kartik later told Aaj Tak that he’d first met Sara at a party, where dad Saif was also present.

Kartik will next be seen opposite Kriti Sanon in Lukka Chuppi. Sara’s second film, Simmba, has gone on to do great business at the box office, collecting more than Rs 200 crore worldwide. She is rumoured to be in contention for the new Imtiaz Ali movie as well.
