Kartik Aaryan recalls Shah Rukh Khan’s praise for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2: 'He personally called me over'

Kartik Aaryan recently remarked on the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 widespread accolades, which included praise from Shah Rukh Khan, who had a significant part in drawing spectators back to theatres post-pandemic. During a challenging period for Bollywood at the box office, the horror-comedy marked a significant milestone, emerging as one of the highest-grossing films of 2022.

Shah Rukh Khan's personal appreciation

SRK personally congratulated Kartik following the film's release, and Aaryan recounted the interaction in an interview with Filmfare. The actor said that the superstar is really generous and friendly and never fails to bring up the films he has acted in that he's seen whenever they meet. Aaryan recalled that Khan personally called him over after the release of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and told him how much he loved the film when they met at an event. The actor praised SRK's pleasant personality and added that he was very wonderful for his desire to sincerely applaud and appreciate others.

Another topic that Aaryan discussed was his attitude to appreciating colleagues in the business. Although he understands the importance of acknowledging others, he admitted to being shy until he truly gets to know them.

The actor said he does, but he isn't very outgoing with messaging, especially if they don't know each other. Aaryan, though, made an effort to do so whenever they were physically there.

Meeting Vijay Sethupathi and admiring Maharaja

His encounter with Vijay Sethupathi (who has been winning hearts with his performance in Viduthalai Part 2), whose portrayal in Maharaja impacted him, was the next thing he mentioned. Aaryan got to meet the star not long ago. Even if they crossed paths, he wouldn't say Sethupathi is a colleague. The Freddy actor met him in Chennai and couldn't help but compliment him on his work; Aaryan had a great time watching Sethupathi's film Maharaja. Aaryan emphasised that sharing thoughts on one another's work is widespread in the industry, and it seems like a good practice for him. Whenever he can, he tries to reciprocate, but he's careful not to invade anyone's privacy.

Chandu Champion and the third Bhool Bhulaiyaa instalment were Kartik's most recent appearances. He will now be seen onscreen opposite Sreeleela (who was recently seen in Robinhood and Dhamaka) in Anurag Basu's upcoming film.
