KARTIK AARYAN

When Kareena Kapoor Khan was asked to surmise the growing popularity of Kartik Aaryan, the superstar dubbed him ‘massy’. Breaking through the monopoly of stars sons, Kartik has emerged as the heartthrob of the masses. His boy-next-door charm has touched a chord with the youth. His films dealing with their bitter-sweet issues has made him the poster boy of millennials. Kartik started his journey with the hit Pyaar Ka Punchnama nine years ago. If Akaash Vani and Kaanchi: The Unbreakable were downers, Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 salvaged him. It was the runaway success of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety last year, which vindicated the actor as a bankable star. His monologue in the two films has now become iconic. The rom-com Luka Chuppi, early this year, was an add-on to his hit run. Up next he will be seen in the remake of Pati Patni Aur Woh, Imtiaz Ali’s #Aaj Kal, followed by Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. His personal life is rocking too. From Ananya Panday to Sara Ali Khan, the lad has all the pretty girls vying for him.
