Kartik Aaryan is all over the place. Literally. He’s been travelling extensively across the length and breadth of the country to promote his latest release, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Visuals of this charismatic youth icon protectively shielding his favourite co-star Kiara Advani, as they make their way through throngs excitedly calling out their names, have been making a splash across India. Kartik sounds exhilarated yet exhausted as he speaks with HELLO!.

“I enjoy hanging out with Kiara. I share a great bond with her. This shoot got delayed due to the pandemic… We spent a lot of time together, and I enjoyed all our conversations.”

The scenario is pretty much the same, be it in Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, or Lucknow. His chock-ablock schedule is chaotic and taxing even to look at, but Kartik loves it as much as he loves his audience.

“These days, I have breakfast in Lucknow, lunch in Delhi and dinner in Indore!” he laughs. “Every day, I’ve been travelling to a different city to promote the film. It’s the only way to connect with our audience on a personal level.”

While traipsing around the country may sound exciting, it’s a harrowing task, with hurdles to overcome along the way.

“While promoting this film, we were travelling round the clock. There were times when it became difficult to coordinate schedules, or get businessclass tickets, so we’d fly economy just to make it on time. It didn’t matter at all. I enjoy meeting my fans and having those private moments with them.”
