After a year-long courtship, Bidaai fame Sara Khan and actor-producer Krish Pathak took their relationship to the next level with a court marriage on October 6.
Soon after signing the papers, an emotional Sara shared, “The moment we started living together, I felt like Krish’s wife, but registering our marriage felt different altogether. I had goosebumps and butterflies in my stomach. He is everything I ever wished for in a partner. I guess when you wait patiently, the right person comes along. I feel like our connection goes beyond this lifetime.”
Sara: I was ready to settle down
Sara and Krish now plan to celebrate their union with a grand wedding on December 5. Krish said, “Our court marriage was an intimate affair, but expect our December wedding to be full of dhamaka with lots of naach-gaana and celebrations.”
The couple’s love story began on a dating app a year ago. “I saw his picture and immediately felt a sense of belonging,” recalled Sara, adding, “We started chatting and met the next day. I told him upfront that I wasn’t looking for anything casual. I was ready to settle down.”
Krish: Ours is quite a Gen-Z story
Krish, known for his roles in POW: Bandi Yuddh Ke and Yeh Jhuki Jhuki Si Nazar, and son of actor Sunil Lahri, who played Lakshman in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, added, “Ours is quite a Gen-Z story. Both of us were coming out of heartbreaks. I never saw myself as the marrying kind because I was raised by a single mother and didn’t grow up around the idea of marriage. Sara, on the other hand, had seen her parents’ strong bond and always wanted that kind of stability. When I came across her photo, I felt an instant pull. Meeting her changed everything, and I knew I didn’t want to let her go.”
Sara: Love is the greatest faith of all
Speaking about their interfaith marriage, Sara shared, “Love is the greatest faith of all. Every religion teaches us to love first, and that is what we believe in.”
Reflecting on her journey with Krish, she added, “I have grown so much in this relationship. I have made my share of mistakes in life, but Krish feels like my best decision. We are learning from each other every day, and this marriage is truly a partnership in every sense.”
After my name was dragged into the drug probe, I was so shaken that I almost wanted to kill myself-Sara Khan

Television actress Sara Khan was in for a rude shock after her name surfaced in the ongoing drug probe by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. It was during the questioning of TV couple Abigail Pande and Sanam Johar by the NCB that a certain section of the media reported that Sara and her former co-actor, Angad Hasija, were likely to be summoned soon. The news started doing the rounds around the time when she had just resumed the shoot for her TV show, Santoshi Maa Sunaye Vrat Kathayein, after recovering from Coronavirus.
Sara says, “Angad informed me about our names doing the rounds in the media. I was shocked and failed to understand why my name was being dragged into it. I haven’t done anything wrong. I was inundated with calls from the media, but I chose to wait for clarity as advised by my legal team.” She adds, “I am contemplating legal action against people who carried unverified reports about me. My life can’t be reduced to click-bait journalism.”
The actress says that she is being targeted on social media. She shares, “Without even checking the veracity of these allegations, people started trolling me. They called me names and a drug addict. This incident shook me to an extent that I almost wanted to kill myself! I have slogged to reach where I am today. I would like people to remember that I am also someone’s daughter, sister and expect the same respect and treatment that they would want for the women in their house.”
Sara says that Abigail called and clarified that she didn’t name her during the probe. “Abigail called me a few days ago to tell me that she hadn’t taken anyone's name and had no idea why this was happening. Is it because I party and am a happy-go-lucky person? That doesn’t make me a criminal,” she says.
She feels that there are more real issues to be talked about than just targeting actors. “Jo log hamein judge kar rahe hain woh pehle apne girebaan mein dekh le. They can’t get away with saying anything to actors, just because we are public figures. I am shocked to know that many people trust unverified reports. If the audience feels that we influence the youth, I want them to be inspired by some of the positive characters we play,” she shares.
Due to the undue scrutiny, Sara has lost out on work, too. She says, “I have been dropped from three social media campaigns following these rumours. Who will compensate me for it? I hope people stop judging others by blindly following rumours.”
People in Pakistan were shocked when I wore shorts-Sara Khan
7:49 AM
Cultural differences aside, Sara Khan reveals working in the neighbouring country was an enriching experience
Letty Mariam Abraham (MID-DAY; September 13, 2017)
"Arts should not be mixed with politics," says Sara Khan, having just completed shooting for Pakistani show, Laikin. While ties continue to remain strained India and Pakistan, the actor says she received tremendous love in the neighbouring country. "A lot of reality gets lost with media intervention. The truth is far from what they show. The people I worked with were extremely warm to me."
An unusual love story, Laikin marks her second small screen outing in Pakistan after Bay Khudi. "The show explores romance between a pair of cousins. The love-hate dynamic between the two central characters has been captured beautifully," she says.
Khan’s tryst with Pakistani shows began early last year when she was signed on for Bay Khudi, after a casting agent spotted her in Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai and was impressed by her performance. It was well-timed for the actor who always wanted to be a part of Pakistani shows because of their "rich content". "It was my Nani’s wish that I do a show in Pakistan ever since she began watching Zindagi [the channel]," she smiles.
Her experience of shooting in the neighbouring country was similar to that back home, barring a stray incident, this time around.
"After the day’s shoot, I headed down to the hotel lobby to unwind, casually dressed in a pair of shorts. In Mumbai, nobody cares about your outfits. But, things are different there. Many people in the lobby were quite shocked by my choice of outfit. A unit hand then told me that people refrain from wearing shorts outside. I ran back to my room and changed immediately."
However, she is quick to add that she was also privy to some powerful, independent women. "The roles of channel head, director and additional directors were helmed by women. That was encouraging to me."
I am in Pakistan and my parents are extremely concerned-Sara Khan
8:25 AM
The TV actress, currently shooting for a Pakistani show, talks about her experience amid the tension brewing between the two nations

Actress Sara Khan is
currently in Pakistan, shooting for a TV show. Given the ongoing tension
between India and Pakistan in the wake of the Uri attack, her parents
are extremely worried for her. Since IMPPA (Indian Motion Pictures
Producers Association) has announced a ban on all Pakistani artistes
working in India, we got in touch with the actress, who has been
shooting across the border for the past 20 days. She says, “My family is
extremely concerned and I try to calm them down all the time. There's
nothing to worry about. In fact, my Pakistani colleagues go out of their
way to make me feel safe. People here are warm and hospitable. I will be
home on October 6.“
Ask her about the mood there and she replies, “It's disturbing to see so much tension between the two countries. People here are praying that the unrest ends soon. Whenever something like this (terror attack) happens, Pakistanis fear that they will be blamed for it.“
She says Pakistanis love Indian artistes. “They appreciate our culture and want to travel to India. They also enquire if they will be treated well when they come here. I tell them that Indians welcome everyone as we believe in atithi devo bhava. Pakistanis want to be friends,“ she states.
About IMPAA's ban, she says, “I don't support it. Art has to be above politics. Artistes believe in spreading love, peace and brotherhood. I want to emphasise that terrorism in any form, anywhere, needs to be condemned unequivocally. I hope India and Pakistan can bridge their differences and work towards peace and understanding.“
While Sara may be soaking up love and attention in Pakistan, she is dying to return home. “I just want to get back as soon as possible, to celebrate Navratri,“ she signs off.
