Sara Ali Khan's first co-star was Sushant Singh Rajput. She debuted opposite him in Kedarnath in December 2018. The actor tragically passed away in June 2020, at the age of 34. 

During Mid-day's latest Sit With Hitlist episode, the actress was asked about her favourite memory of Sushant. Sara fell silent at the question. After a few seconds, she said, "So many... there was this one moment when Gattu sir (Abhishek Kapoor, director), was very rushed. We were rushing. He had worked with Sushant before. So I went to Sushant and said, I don't know how to do this line, please show me. He just showed me and I copied it."
