While Sara is open in interviews, she is private regarding certain elements of her relationships. Here’s a look at her romantic history up to 2026, which we present in a balanced way, separating fact from speculation.

Her First Known Relationship

Sara Ali Khan spoke up about a past relationship that was from before she fully dove into the film industry. In an interview, she talked of a relationship with Veer Pahariya in her youth. She said this was the most serious relationship she had at that time in her life. Also, she put forth that the breakup was amicable, which is a far cry from what the media usually reports of blowout endings to celebrity relationships.

This is the only relationship of which Sara has spoken in full detail. Also, in this, she comes forward as very open in dealing with her past and not using it for sensational purposes.

The Kartik Aaryan Phase: Chemistry vs Other Things?

In one of the most reported issues of Sara’s dating rumors, we have actor Kartik Aaryan. At an early point in her career, Sara went on a popular talk show, and there she put forth that she found Kartik attractive and that she would like to date him. What had them on the go was a mix of their on-screen chemistry, which carried over to off-screen, public appearances, and reports in the tabloids that they may have been a couple. That said, Sara and Kartik did not fully confirm any of these reports. Over the years, what little attention their personal lives got also died down as they spoke out that they were into their careers. By most accounts, it doesn’t look like there was much beyond a professional relationship; what there may have been was very short-lived and kept very private.

Links with Shubman Gill

Another out-of-the-blue report was of Indian cricketer Shubman Gill in connection with Sara. Social media went wild after it was reported that the two were spotted at a restaurant together, and fans drew what conclusions they would. Also, to complicate the issue, we had another Sara (Sara Tendulkar) associated with the cricketer, which in turn caused confusion and gave rise to online meme culture.

Neither Sara Ali Khan nor Shubman Gill reported anything of a romantic nature. That which transpired is a case of how social media speedily transforms simple public appearances into dating rumors.

Recent Rumours: Arjuna Pratap Bajwa.

In the 2015-2020 period, Sara’s name was put out there in connection with Arjun Pratap Bajwa, who is a figure in social and political circles. They were reported to have been seen together at religious gatherings and out on trips, which in turn brought up speculations. Also made public were photos and videos of the pair, which, at the time, people thought proved they were a couple.

However, we have had no word from Sara. Reports say Arjun Bajwa played it down, and that Sara did not care to comment. As is the case with many celebrity reports, the story here is of speculation that outdoes what the participants put out.

Sara’s Own Take on Love

Sara Ali Khan has talked at length about what she looks for in a relationship. She reports that what draws her in is emotion, truth, and a simple connection, which may include a home-cooked meal as opposed to a fancy restaurant. Also of note is that she hasn’t used dating apps at all, which to her is just another way of meeting people. What she instead has been known to do is put herself out there in the world and see what happens. Her words point to a very thoughtful and considered approach to love as opposed to a rush into things.

She is a mix of traditional and modern, which is also reflected in what she says; she talks of family values, but at the same time brings up issues of independence. This may also be the reason her romance is very private, which the public is very much interested in.

Conclusion

As of 2026, what is known of Sara Ali Khan’s dating past is very little, which includes only one relationship that has been made public. As for the rest of the reports of her relationships, they are within the domain of industry rumor and media speculation. Through it all, Sara has maintained her dignity and discretion; she has put more focus on her career and personal growth than on publicizing her love life.

Her story is that of a young celebrity who, at times, sees friends turn to foes and become today’s news, but also sees her do well to stay true to herself in the midst of it all.
