No bad blood there! Alia Bhatt on relationship with ex flame Sidharth Malhotra: 'There's too much history'

Though there was buzz about Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra being in a relationship, the two never publicly admitted to it. However, they had dropped many hints about the same. Early last year, they parted ways and there was conjecture that the Student Of The Year co-stars were not on talking terms. Karan Johar asked Sidharth about the same on his chat show, Koffee With Karan. To which the Aiyaary actor replied, “I don’t think it’s bitter (his relationship with Alia post the split). We haven’t really met after that, to be honest. And it’s civil. It’s been a while and it happens... just like any other relationship.” 

Sidharth says, “I have known her for much longer. I did know her much before, even before we were dating. So, it’s not like we met as a particular boyfriend-girlfriend thing. I think it’ll remain. It’s just a matter of us coming back.”

When we quizzed Alia about Sid’s response, she said, “Yes, I have watched the episode. Sid and I did meet actually. They had shot the episode much before we met so he must have said that. But we have obviously met recently and it was extremely normal.” About their current equation, she said, “I have a lot of love and respect for Sid. We started off together in the industry. I have known him for a long time and there’s too much history between us. Honestly, there will never be issues. I have nothing but just positivity in my heart for him. I’m sure he wishes the same as well. We have witnessed several milestones of our lives together. He spoke about meeting and chatting and we were fine. There are no bad vibes.” The Gully Boy actress feels that it’s possible to be friends with an ex. “Yes, absolutely, why not? If two individuals can come to terms with whatever has happened and don’t keep things in their heart, it’s definitely possible,” she added.
