Sara Ali Khan, reflecting on her debut film "Kedarnath," became visibly emotional as she fondly recalled her late co-star Sushant Singh Rajput. In a heartfelt interview with Mid-Day, Sara credited Sushant for the love and appreciation she received for her role in the 2018 romantic drama.
The actress, known for sharing nostalgic moments from the sets of "Kedarnath" on social media, opened up about her bond with Sushant and their collaborative work with director Abhishek Kapoor.
"There are so many favourite memories," Sara reminisced.
She recalled a poignant moment where, feeling unsure about a scene, she turned to Sushant for guidance. "I don’t know how to do this, there’s one, this, this line, just show me," Sara recounted. "And I just went and I copied him."
