Utilising high-resolution archival data from AstroSat/UVIT for UV imaging and Atacama Large Millimetere/submillimetre Array (ALMA) for CO(2-1) molecular gas mapping, we explore recent star formation and gas distribution with a spatial resolution of ?120132 pc. Our findings reveal a sublinear rK-S law, with slopes ranging from ?0.17 to ?0.71. Notably, NGC 1566 exhibits a robust rK-S relation consistent with previous studies, while NGC 1365 and NGC 1433 exhibit weaker correlations. These differences are likely due to the smaller number of identified star-forming regions in these galaxies compared to NGC 1566, as well as the central molecular gas concentrations and varying star formation activity in their bars and nuclear regions. These results also support the idea that the rK-S relation deviates from linearity in extreme environments, such as starburst galaxies and galactic centres. Additionally, we find a generally low median star formation efficiency (SFE) within the bars of these galaxies, suggesting that while bars may drive nuclear starbursts and contribute to bulge growth, they do not significantly increase SFE. Furthermore, a negative correlation between SFE and ?H2 is observed across the sample, both within and outside the bar regions, suggesting that higher ?H2 may lead to lower SFE in the central regions of these galaxies. Our findings highlight that ?H2 plays a primary role in shaping the observed trends in SFE, rather than the presence of a bar itself. The Author(s), 2025.
