During the promotional activity of their 2018 film Kedarnath, Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan were in love with each other, claims Samuel Haokip, a friend of the late actor. Samuel took to his verified Instagram account on Thursday to open up on the love story between the "Kedarnath" co-stars, a film that marked Sara Ali Khan's debut in Bollywood. He also speculates whether the Bollywood Mafia played a role in causing their break-up after the release of Sushant's 2019 release "Sonchiriya", which failed at the box office.

"I remember the time during Kedarnath promotions... Sushant and Sara were totally in love...they were inseparable... So pure and childlike innocence. They both had tremendous respect for each other which was so rare to see nowadays in relationships," Samuel wrote in an Instagram post.
