NEW DELHI: She is taking forward the story of a film that her father did 11 years ago, but for actor Sara Ali Khan the only thing “circular” about being a part of “Love Aaj Kal” is that both the films are looking for similar answers on love in different eras.
The 24-year-old actor features in director Imtiaz Ali’s modern take on his 2009 original, which starred Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone.
Sara, who is cast opposite Kartik Aaryan’s Veer in “Love Aaj Kal”, said she has never been someone who carefully plans anything, including her career.
“I have never really planned journeys. I feel privileged that so early in my career I got to the chance to work with the people I really wanted to, whether it is Imtiaz sir or Kartik. I hope each experience I have with different filmmakers enriches me further and adds to my personal bounty of experiences.
“The only thing extremely circular about this is that filmmaking is a journey, love is a journey. In ‘Love Aaj Kal’, we had a journey about love and filmmaking, and I don’t really know which was what. Both filmmaking and love are somewhere down the line a means to discover ourselves. I hope I never stop doing that,” the actor said in an interview.
Sara, who plays a modern working woman in Zoe, said her character carries “burdens of the past” but comes to an understanding about love through the story that is set in the past, which features Kartik as Raghu and Arushi Sharma as Leena. (AGENCIES)
