Kartik Aaryan's Fanboy Moment: Shah Rukh Khan hugs and pats his cheeks

In a video going viral on the internet, Bhool Bhulaiyaa-2 actor Kartik Aaryan can be seen turning into a fanboy upon meeting Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan at an event. The video shows King Khan greeting and hugging Kartik and patting him affectionately on the cheek. And the way all fans do, the 'Pyaar ka Punchnama' actor sported a big grin on his face, showing his reverence for the senior actor.


SRK's last movie, Zero, came way back in 2018. The superstar has failed to deliver a mega-hit in a long time. Four of his last five movies failed to cross the Rs. 100cr mark, with three of them being declared flops. However, his upcoming movie, Pathaan, is expected to break the jinx.


Pathaan, a YRF production, will hit the theatres in the first quarter of 2023, and will also star Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, and Dimple Kapadia. It is directed by Siddharth Anand, who's known for many hit movies like Anjaana Anjani, War, and Bang Bang! The film will be a part of the YRF Spy Universe, which includes super hit movies like Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai.

Kartik Aaryan made his Bollywood debut in 2011 with Pyaar ka Punchnama. Since then, the actor has worked in a handful of movies, including Pyaar ka Punchnama 2, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Pati Patni Aur Woh, and Love Aaj Kal 2. Karthik was last seen in the superhit movie Bhul Bhulaiyaa 2, which managed to rake in more than Rs. 220 crores.

Kartik will be next seen in Shehzada, remake of Telugu Film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo (2020). The movie is expected to be released by the end of this year. The actor will also be starring in Shashank Ghosh’s Freddy and Sajid Nadiadwala’s Satyanarayan ki Katha.
