It all began on Karan Johar's chat show, Koffee With Karan, where Sara Ali Khan was invited with actor-father Saif Ali Khan. On the show, when the then-budding actress was asked about her crush, without blinking her eyes, she took Kartik's name, and daddy dearest's joked that if he (Kartik) had "the money", he could take his daughter. Later, at one of the award functions, Ranveer Singh, Sara Ali Khan's co-star from Simmba played cupid there. Sara and Kartik who were seated at the opposite sides of the row were introduced by the Befikre actor.

From lunch dates to seeing off each other at the airports, Kartik Aaryan's small gestures are proof that he treats Sara Ali Khan no less than a princess.

Chivalrous Act:

On Thursday, Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan were spotted exiting a dance studio together. While the Mumbai rains came around unexpectedly, Kartik showed his chivalrous side by holding an umbrella for rumoured ladylove Sara. He protected her from getting drenched, and they both had smiles on their faces when snapped by the paparazzi.

This year, Sara Ali Khan made her debut on the fashion runway for India Couture Week in New Delhi. The Lukka Chhupi actor took time off his shoot and travelled to the capital city to cheer the Simmba actress. Kartik was sitting in the front row with Sara's brother Ibrahim Ali Khan and they looked extremely happy in each other's company.

Shield creator:

For her sake:

While the duo was shooting for the film in Shimla, they explored the locales together with their face masks on.
