Sara Ali Khan-Kartik Aaryan to maintain distance

Have Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan been told not to make too many public appearances together till the promotion of the Imtiaz Ali’s film commences? Well, that seems to be the case if we go by what the little birdies from the film’s production say. “Kartik and Sara had been making too many appearances together in public. They have also been making a lot of headlines. It will then take away the charm of the film too soon if the media stops asking them fun questions about each other. Hence Imtiaz Ali has told them to try and keep the exclusivity towards the film’s release as it will help the film,” says a source.

True to that, on two recent occasions this week — first at the screening of Student Of the Year 2 — Sara scooted off before Kartik entered the premises. On another occasion, they had wrapped the day’s shoot of Ali’s film and came out separately and then vamoosed before the paps could snap them together, reveal eyewitnesses.

The Sara and Kartik story came to the limelight after Sara said on Karan Johar’s show that she would like to date Kartik to which Saif Ali Khan expressed surprise. A few jokes followed and soon one realised that the two were actually cast together in Imtiaz Ali’s film. Then a kissing scene between the two was leaked out conveniently to promote the film as well.
