She is taking forward the story of a film that her father did 11 years ago, but for actor Sara Ali Khan the only thing "circular" about being a part of "Love Aaj Kal" is that both the films are looking for similar answers on love in different eras.
The 24-year-old actor features in director Imtiaz Ali's modern take on his 2009 original, which starred Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone.
Sara, who is cast opposite Kartik Aaryan's Veer in "Love Aaj Kal", said she has never been someone who carefully plans anything, including her career.
"I have never really planned journeys. I feel privileged that so early in my career I got to the chance to work with the people I really wanted to, whether it is Imtiaz sir or Kartik. I hope each experience I have with different filmmakers enriches me further and adds to my personal bounty of experiences.
"The only thing extremely circular about this is that filmmaking is a journey, love is a journey. In 'Love Aaj Kal', we had a journey about love and ...

From comedies to playing an Imtiaz Ali romantic hero, Kartik Aaryan says it felt "validating" to be a part of "Love Aaj Kal".
The 29-year-old actor, who stars opposite Sara Ali Khan in the new take on the 2009 original, said playing the dual roles of Raghu and Veer was like undergoing a "litmus test".
"Getting an opportunity to work with Imtiaz Ali sir in itself is a big thing. When he chose me, it felt more like a validation for me. For the first time, I was living the character on and off screen. From little nuances to those big details, I enjoyed it all. It's like a litmus test for me, something I've never done before," Kartik said in an interview with PTI.
The director previously told PTI that Kartik fit well as he represents a perfect mix of a small town boy meets metro. The actor said when Imtiaz called him, he was just curious about his life and not his past work as an actor.
"I'm from Gwalior and I've seen that bit of life and lived it. I've seen a metro like Delhi or Mumbai ..

Actor Vicky Kaushal on Thursday said his "strangest" fear is that he'll wake up one day and not know how to act.
The actor is on a golden box office run with consecutive hits and acclaimed films.
"I have this fear, that one fine day I'll get up and I won't know how to act. I wonder what I will do. But I fear that one day I'll go on set and for no logical reason, I wouldn't know what to do after action. I've this strange, imagined fear," Vicky told reporters.
The actor garnered acclaim for his performances in "Sanju", "Manmarziyaan", "Raazi" and scored big at the box office with "Uri: The Surgical Strike" last year.
Vicky said the scariest thing about stardom is that it can get into one's head.
"Stardom gets scary when it goes into your head and under your feet. When stardom gets in your head, a gap develops between your feet and the ground... When you wake up in the morning with your mother scolding you, you become normal.

Actor Ananya Panday says she enjoys being on social media and interacting with her fans, but she believes Internet makes people feel isolated.
The actor, who made her Bollywood debut last year with "Student of the Year 2", said it scares her that so many people, including, herself, derive validation and confidence from social media apps.
"We derive so much of our self-confidence and validation from Instagram. Just imagine one day Instagram gets deleted like all of your friends who you think you have on social media, all these likes and comments just disappear, what are we left with?
"We have stopped valuing human relationships and contact. We hardly talk to someone in person," Ananya said during a session at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2020.
The 21-year-old actor was in conversation with stylist and costume designer Anaita Shroff Adajania, where she opened up about her experience on cyber-bullying which motivated her to launch "So Positive".

Director Imtiaz Ali says there can be a movie without romance at its core but it would be difficult for him to conceive a story that doesn't feature some sort of a man-woman dynamic.
With "Love Aaj Kal", starring Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan, Imtiaz is revisiting the theme of his 2009 original that explored the idea of love over two time periods.
"I am comfortable (with love stories) but it's not that every story has to be like this. I will not want this comfort to restrict me from making any other kind of story that comes to my mind. It could be a story where there is no romance at all but that's difficult to conceive (at this point of time)," the director told PTI.
Asked whether it was possible for an Imtiaz Ali film to have no romance, the director said he was wondering the same.
"Even in a story like 'Highway', it has a man (Randeep Hooda). I don't have any story yet that doesn't have a man and woman thing going on in some way. With the growing understanding of life and ...
