Fans might have been put off by the repeated inside jokes shared between Karan Johar, and Sara Ali Khan on Thursday’s episode of Koffee with Karan, but that didn’t stop them from trying to fit in. A recurring subject on the episode was Janhvi and Sara’s dating history.
While only the briefest hints were made about both of them having dated Kartik Aaryan — he was never mentioned by name — but Karan did reveal, much to Janhvi and Sara’s surprise, that they dated siblings in the past.
“I am tracking back to before the pandemic. I don’t know the level of your friendship today, but I don`t remember there being any. I remember that you both have dated siblings before…” he said, leaving them visibly red in the face. Karan continued, “I mean it was the past. You both dated two brothers. And the commonality between the three of us is that they both used to live in my building.”
While neither Janhvi nor Sara revealed the identity of the two brothers that they had dated at the same time, internet sleuths soon got on the case. And they appear to have solved it already. “For everyone whose wondering which brother duo janhvi and sara dated, it’s these two brothers called veer (sara) and shikhar (janhvi) pahariya, both maternal grandsons of the former chief minister of maharashtra! THANK ME LATER,” one person tweeted.
