Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, was released in December last year. Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun’s 20-year age gap in the film had been the topic of discussion on social media right from the moment
the film’s first-look teaser was unveiled. Now, Sara Arjun has broken her silence on the matter.
In a recent chat with NDTV, Sara Arjun revealed that since she was cut off from social media before the film’s release, all the debates and trolling about the age gap didn’t reach her. “All the noise (is) on social media, right? And I’m not very active. I didn’t partake in it much… I also feel everybody has an opinion. I really believe in ‘live and let live’… It’s their opinion… It doesn’t do anything to how I think… I knew the story, and I knew it was justified, and that’s it,” she said.
Sara Arjun said, “I’m a bit far away from all these things… My parents show me nice things, and I enjoy it… I’m still very inactive on social media, and when it comes to reading social media news and all… This was all pre-release, so at that time, I was barely checking anything.”
The actress explained, “The boarding school that I was in, we didn’t really have any devices during the course of our education. And when I came out, I got so busy, and I didn’t develop the habit for it. So, I don’t have that habit yet. And I like that about me… I go on it when I really need to be on it and either post when I want to say something. Otherwise, for my entertainment, I choose other things. Whenever I get free time, I just go on a trip. I can’t sit in one place.”
For the unversed, in Dhurandhar, Sara Arjun plays Yalina Jamali, the daughter of Pakistani politician Jameel Jamali (played by Rakesh Bedi). Ranveer Singh’s character schemes to make her fall in love, and eventually, the two get married.
