Kartik Aaryan says he shares a ‘love-hate relationship’ with Karan Johar

Actor Kartik Aaryan and director-producer Karan Johar seemingly share a bittersweet relationship. After their Dostana 2 project fell apart in 2019 due to a rumoured rift, the pair recently announced their intention to work together on a new film.

Speaking to Screen magazine, the actor shared that he shares a love-hate relationship with Karan Johar. When he was showed a photo of the two of them in which Karan was seen pulling his ear, Kartik laughed and said, “Ispe kya bolu? (What do I say to this). I think yeh love and hate relationship hai… Bahut ache yeh photo represent karti hai (I think this is a love and hate relationship. This photo represents that very well.)”

“Yeh moment tab ka hai jab hum logo ne pehli film, jo humari honi thi kabhi, voh sign ki thi. Toh tab ka moment hai. I think he knew ki main… photo pehle se le li thi (This was the moment when our first film, which was going to happen, was signed. This was then. I think he knew that I… so he took the picture beforehand.),” the actor shared.

On the work front, Kartik Aaryan, who recently enjoyed success with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, is expected to bring his charm to this new venture with Johar. His previous collaboration with Sameer Vidwans was in the film Satyaprem Ki Katha. He also starred in the acclaimed sports movie, Chandu Champion. The actor has Aashiqui 3 in the pipeline.
