Currently riding high on the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Kartik Aaryan found himself in the media glare over his dating life when Vidya Balan teased him on The Great Indian Kapil Show. But in an interview with The Mashable India, the actor has disclosed that he is single and hasn't had any time to date since Chandu Champion. He also describes his hectic work schedule, which, he says, barely gives him time for much else.
"I am single. I don't have to send my live location to anyone. I am not even present on any dating apps. Technically, since the time I have been preparing and shooting for Chandu Champion, I didn't get the time," Kartik said on being asked about his relationship status.
The actor explained, "I was in such a strict regime, in which I had to calculate my gym, eating, and sleeping pattern, just like an athlete. All of that went on for two years. In fact, I was also learning swimming for the very first time. The routine became so hectic. Plus, shooting for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and finishing it in a specific period of time was also a challenge. So, I was completely busy with all that."
When the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 team came on Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show, Vidya Balan playfully revealed, "During the shoot, he was always on his phone between takes. I used to stand next to him, hoping to catch a hint, but all I could hear him say was, 'Me Too, Me Too.' So I had no idea!" and then teased him by asking "What is her name?" This led to speculation about who the girl might be.
The horror comedy, directed by Anees Bazmee, includes Triptii Dimri, Madhuri Dixit, Rajpal Yadav, Shweta Tiwari, and Vijay Raaz in important roles. Within just four days of its release, the movie has minted Rs 123.5 crore at the box office.
