Koffee With Karan 7: Sara Ali Khan reacts to Love Aaj Kal's poor performance at the box office, says 'it was a Valentine's Day slap on my face'

Sara Ali Khan tasted success and dealt with failure in quick succession. While her debut film Kedarnath and her second project Simmba released in 2018 and were successful, her third outing, Love Aaj Kal failed to garner equal appreciation. Reacting to the poor performance of Love Aaj Kal after enjoying hits, Sara, in the second episode of Karan Johar's Koffee With Karan 7, told that the film was like Valentine's Day slap on her face.  

She told, "Kedarnath and Simmba released in the same month, December 2018. I think I was given much more love and adulation than I deserved and was put up on the pedestal I thought I couldn't have lived up to. But suddenly, one Friday, on February 14, that (Love Aaj Kal) was a Happy Valentine's Day slap on my face. Reviews that were coming out were not good, it didn't do well at the box office. It was a jolt because of what happened after Kedarnath and Simmba."

On the other hand, Janhvi Kapoor, who shared the couch with Sara, said the failure of Roohi (2021) didn't affect her. She shared that she was glad to have Nadiyon Paar song in her discography. The film received mixed responses from the critics and did mediocre business at the box office.
