Last week, Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar’s fallout embroiled in a massive controversy that shocked the fan and netizens. In a rare sight, the lead aka Kartik was being replaced while the shoot was already underway by Dharma Productions. After the news hit the surface, various names were rumored to be behind the reason for this fallout – From Janhvi Kapoor to Sara Ali Khan. But one name that managed to stay away from the messy situation was Ananya Panday.
As soon as Dharma Productions officially announced that they will be recasting someone else in Kartik Aaryan’s role, various speculations started doing the rounds. While some stated that it was because of the star’s unprofessional behavior, others believed that it was because of Janhvi Kapoor and Kartik Aaryan’s messy split up after reportedly dating for quite some time.
The entire incident shed light on the Punchnama boy’s personal life as well – his reported relationships with Dostana 2 co-star Janhvi Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan. There was already a lot of buzz that Sara and Kartik who started dating during the shoot of Love Aaj Kal and were loved by the ‘Sartik’ fans, parted aways as Kartik started seeing Janhvi while the shoot of Dostana 2 kickstarted. This had led to whispers that there was a cold war between the gen-next divas Sara and Janhvi. Ananya Panday who was also said to be dating the Dhamaka star during Pati Patni Aur Woh days managed to stay away from the controversy as she maintained being neutral and being friends with all her men-next stars.
As the buzz of Janhvi and Sara’s feud started gaining attention once again after Kartik’s exit from Dostana, the divas took to Instagram to share a video of them both. Recently, Sara Ali Khan uploaded a video of her and Janhvi working out together with her trainer to end all the speculations. Meanwhile, Ananya Panday remains unaffected even if she is all a Dharma star shows that she is clever enough to dodge controversies even if she is the newest star of the lot.
