In a glittering event that saw the who’s who of Bollywood gather under one roof, Ananya Panday’s much-anticipated series ‘Call Me Bae’ had its grand screening in Mumbai. Among the prominent celebrities gracing the occasion were ex-lovers, Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan. The duo, who were rumored to be dating during the filming of Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Love Aaj Kal’, had an unexpected reunion at the star-studded premiere.
Kartik Aaryan sported a casual yet stylish look in a grey sweatshirt and trousers, effortlessly drawing attention. On the other hand, Sara Ali Khan looked mesmerizing in a chic black outfit, complemented by the presence of her brother, Ibrahim Ali Khan, who shares a friendly rapport with Kartik. The trio’s rendezvous was captured in a series of videos and photos that have since gone viral on social media.
The event was a testament to the Bollywood fraternity’s close-knit nature, with celebrities coming together to support one of their own. Apart from the much-talked-about reunion of Kartik and Sara, the screening saw several big names from the industry. Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan, made a stylish appearance alongside Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson, Agastya. Also in attendance were Radhika Madan and Karishma Tanna, adding more glamour to the night.
The spotlight of the evening, however, was on the ‘Call Me Bae’ series, headlined by Ananya Panday. The show revolves around the character Bae, who enjoys a lavish lifestyle in New Delhi until her world is turned upside down when her family disowns her. The narrative then transitions to Mumbai, where Bae must navigate life independently, shedding light on themes of resilience and self-discovery.
The audience buzzed with excitement as snippets of the series were showcased, promising a roller-coaster of emotions and drama. Ananya Panday, who has been winning hearts with her versatile performances, expressed her gratitude to the attendees and fans for their unwavering support.
Reflecting on the film that brought Kartik and Sara together, ‘Love Aaj Kal’ was a remake of the 2009 movie of the same name. The original, starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone, explored love stories set in two different eras.
. Although the 2020 version, featuring Kartik and Sara, aimed to recreate the magic, it did not fare well at the box office. Despite its commercial failure, the film remains significant as the genesis of Kartik and Sara’s off-screen relationship, which continues to intrigue fans.
Kartik Aaryan, riding high on his career graph, recently wrapped up shooting for ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. The third installment of the popular franchise, starring Vidya Balan, Triptii Dimri, and Madhuri Dixit Nene, is slated for a Diwali 2024 release. The film’s announcement has already created a buzz, with fans eagerly awaiting its release.
On the other hand, Sara Ali Khan is all set to feature in Anurag Basu’s ‘Metro In Dino’. The movie, co-starring Aditya Roy Kapur, takes inspiration from the popular song ‘In Dino’ from ‘Life in a… Metro’ and is expected to portray bittersweet narratives of modern-day relationships. Sara’s involvement in this project further cements her position as one of the promising young talents in the industry.
The ‘Call Me Bae’ screening was not just an industry event but a celebration of Bollywood’s camaraderie. It also showcased the vibrant and resilient spirit of the actors, who come together both on and off-screen to celebrate art and each other’s successes. The reunion of Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan at the screening may have been an unexpected highlight, but it encapsulated the evening’s essence – a blend of glamour, talent, and timeless bonds that define Bollywood.
As the lights dimmed and the credits rolled, the audience left the venue with a sense of anticipation for the ‘Call Me Bae’ series and the promising projects that Kartik and Sara have lined up. The event reiterated that Bollywood’s allure lies not just in its films but in the stories and relationships beyond the screens, making nights like these unforgettable.
