Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan's Body-Language Decoded

We are sure everyone remembers Sara Ali Khan's debut episode on Koffee with Karan. You know, the one in which she admitted that she had a crush on Kartik Aryan? Well, Kartik went on to say that he would ask her out on a date, followed by which Ranveer Singh introduced them to each other at an awards function in Mumbai. With Sara and Kartik working together on Imtiaz Ali's new film, the two of them have been seen together a LOT, leading to speculation as to what exactly is going on.

According to experts, body language is a non-verbal communication expressed by posture, stance and bodily movement. A person is usually unaware of the way he or she is reacting to a situation. This is why studying someone's body language when they are falling in love can be a great way to tap into his or her subconscious feelings. We decided to apply some of these body-language rules to Sara and Kartik's pics and try to decode whats going on. In this picture for example, Kartik and Sara are standing in close proximity, which indicates that they are quite comfortable with each other.

Here Sara and Kartik are at an-on set celebration during the filming of Imtiaz Ali's latest 'Love Aaj Kal 2'. Sara's hand is placed on Kartik's chest and the two are all smiles. Smiling or laughing more around a person is usually an indicator that you are falling for him/her. According to Dr. Lillian Glass (author of Body Language Decoded) a hand placed on a partner’s torso or chest hints at feelings of possessiveness. As a rule, it’s mainly women who use this kind of gesture. Their whole body says, "He is mine." This is a subtle message for any romantic rivals out there.

These two just cannot stop smiling around each other, can they?

All smiles once again, Kartik and Sara were spotted at the airport. According to Crystal Schwanke (writer/ dating and relationship expert), people who like each other tend to always look at the other person out of the corner of their eye. Well, Sara is quite happy looking at Kartik over here, and it shows!,

Seen here at a film studio in Mumbai, Kartik holds on to Sara's arm in a protective gesture which also implies a small degree of ownership.

Here, we see the two of them posing for a picture in Simla. According to Dr. Lillian Glass's research, Sarah's body-language is a classic gesture where the woman holds her partner’s arm. It means she depends on him and feels protected.

We leave you with this picture of Sara and Kartik looking super- cosy. Whether these two start dating or choose to remain friends, their body-language does seem to suggest that they are comfortable and enjoy being around each other.
