Stars Gather for Ananya Panday’s ‘Call Me Bae’ Screening: An Unexpected Encounter


In the glitzy world of Bollywood, the who’s who of the film industry often gather under one roof for special screenings and premieres. Such was the occasion last night in Mumbai, where several prominent stars flocked to support Ananya Panday for the screening of her new series, ‘Call Me Bae.’ The event, however, took an unexpected turn when former flames Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan found themselves crossing paths once again.

The actors, who were reportedly dating during the filming of Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Love Aaj Kal,’ bumped into each other at the star-studded screening. Kartik Aaryan opted for a casual look, donning a grey sweatshirt and trousers, while Sara Ali Khan brought her A-game in a chic black outfit. Alongside Sara was her brother, Ibrahim Ali Khan, who also shares a strong rapport with Kartik Aaryan.

The encounter drew significant attention from the media and fans alike, and several videos capturing the moment quickly surfaced online. Social media was abuzz with reactions, fueling speculation about the current status of their relationship. Nevertheless, the focus soon shifted back to the occasion at hand: the much-anticipated premiere of ‘Call Me Bae.’

‘Call Me Bae’ marks a significant moment for Ananya Panday, who plays the titular character, Bae. The series follows Bae’s journey from a lavish lifestyle in New Delhi to the bustling, challenging streets of Mumbai after she is disowned by her family. With her glamorous world shattered, Bae must navigate the complexities of life on her own, an intriguing premise that has garnered much interest.

Apart from Kartik and Sara, the event saw a constellation of other celebrities. Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan, made her presence felt, as did Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson, Agastya. Adding to the star quotient were Radhika Madan and Karishma Tanna, who lent their support to Ananya and the series’ team. The collective star power at the screening only heightened the anticipation surrounding the show.

Switching gears to their professional fronts, both Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan have been busy with exciting projects. Kartik has just completed shooting for ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,’ a film that promises to be a blockbuster hit, especially with the return of Vidya Balan to the franchise.

. The movie, also starring Triptii Dimri and Madhuri Dixit Nene, is slated for a Diwali 2024 release. Fans are eagerly awaiting this film, hoping it will deliver the perfect combination of horror and comedy that the previous installments are known for.

On the other hand, Sara Ali Khan has been working on Anurag Basu’s highly anticipated film ‘Metro In Dino.’ The movie, co-starring Aditya Roy Kapur, takes its title from the popular song ‘In Dino’ from the film ‘Life in a… Metro.’ It aims to explore the myriad facets of human relationships in contemporary times, weaving together bittersweet tales that resonate with audiences today. Sara’s fans are keen to see her bring another nuanced character to life on the big screen.

Returning to their past collaboration, ‘Love Aaj Kal,’ the 2020 film had generated a lot of buzz due to the lead pair’s chemistry. It was a remake of the 2009 classic of the same name, which featured Sara’s father, Saif Ali Khan, alongside Deepika Padukone. The original explored love stories set across different time periods and was well-received by audiences and critics alike. Unfortunately, the remake, despite high expectations, struggled at the box office and failed to make a significant impact.

As the night came to a close, the attention remained firmly on ‘Call Me Bae’ and Ananya Panday’s performance. With its engaging storyline and a mix of drama and emotion, the series promises to be a compelling watch. The presence of so many Bollywood stars at the screening only added to the buzz, and audiences will be eagerly waiting to catch the show.

In the world of Bollywood, where relationships, both personal and professional, often intersect in the most unexpected ways, the screening of ‘Call Me Bae’ turned out to be a memorable event—not just for its cinematic promise but also for the serendipitous reunion of Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan. As they continue to shine in their respective careers, the fans and the media will undoubtedly keep a keen eye on their journeys, both on and off the screen.
