“Today, the spotlight isn’t on me, but on my fans, whose boundless love has been instrumental in my journey. From a small-town boy with no connections, just passion and dreams of shining on the big screen, to facing rejections and long auditions, your ‘yes’ changed my life. I’m grateful for your unwavering support through the highs and lows of my films, like Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. When fans cycle thousands of kilometers just to meet me or stand outside my house with a wedding photo frame, it shows the depth of their devotion. Thank you for embracing me with such high-voltage love. Thank you for your maddening love and this evening is dedicated to you all - to my K-Aarmy”
These weren’t just words — they were Kartik Aaryan’s soul laid bare in front of an audience that has witnessed his rise from obscurity to superstardom. Kartik turned his moment of triumph into a heartfelt tribute to the fans who’ve stood by him through every film, every challenge, and every transformation.
He isn’t just India’s most loved actor today — he’s the people’s star in the truest sense. Across cities and borders, the kind of unshakable, emotional, almost cinematic love Kartik receives is rare and deeply earned. But his journey isn’t just built on affection. Kartik’s evolution as an actor is a blueprint in itself. From delivering cult hits like Pyaar Ka Punchnama to redefining horror-comedy with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, to transforming physically and emotionally for the biopic Chandu Champion — where the power of cinema turned into a reality — he’s continually expanded his range. And now, stepping into the shoes of a rockstar in his next untitled film, Kartik is once again rewriting his own rules.
