In a recent conversation with Filmfare, Kartik shared, “Shah Rukh Khan is incredibly warm and kind. Whenever I meet him, he always discusses my films that he has watched.

His willingness to genuinely congratulate and appreciate others is truly admirable and reflects his gracious nature.”
When asked if he praised any of his colleagues, Kartik Aaryan called himself a “shy” person when it comes to messaging.

He shared, “I do but I am a little shy when it comes to messaging, especially when I don’t have a personal connection with them. But I always try to do it when I meet them in person.”
Recalling praising Vijay Sethupathi, Kartik shared, “Recently, I had the opportunity to meet Vijay Sethupathi. I wouldn’t call him a colleague, but we crossed paths. For instance, during my visit to Chennai, I really enjoyed his film Maharaja and couldn’t help but praise his work when I met him. This is just one example. In the industry, it’s common for people to share their thoughts on each other’s work. I think that’s a positive practice. I reciprocate this whenever I can, though I’m mindful not to overstep or intrude into someone’s personal space.”
Kartik Aaryan was last seen in the film Chandu Champion. The actor is currently shooting for his film Aashiqui 3.
