Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt has finally opened up about her split with Sidharth Malhotra after the two dated each other for almost two years.

While Sidharth was quoted on Karan Johar's show as saying that they both respect each other even after breakup, rumours suggested that the former couple tries to avoid each other as much as possible.

Speaking on the chat show, Sid revealed, “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.”

He added, "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.”

On the other hand, Alia when asked about her equation with Sid post-breakup said that there is too much history between the two, yet she still harbours a lot of respect for him.

“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' starlet also revealed that she watched the particular episode of Koffee with Karan.

"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.”

Alia , however, did say that it is possible for exes to remain friends.

"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.
