Actor Kartik Aaryan recently found himself at the centre of controversy linked to his personal life. Social media speculation suggested that the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 actor was allegedly involved in a relationship with a minor.
The claims spread rapidly across social media platforms, accompanied by screenshots of chats and voice messages that were circulated as supposed proof. This led to widespread trolling and criticism, causing visible damage to the actor's public image.
Several meme pages and online accounts continued to amplify the issue. Throughout the controversy, Kartik Aaryan chose to remain silent and did not issue any public clarification.
At the same time, many users defended the actor. They claimed the allegations were part of a negative PR campaign aimed at defaming him and hindering his career growth.
Reacting to the issue, actress Nidhhi Agerwal addressed paid trolling during her appearance on Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast. She said it is disturbing if such controversies are deliberately staged.
"People pay a lot of money for this, and I think it's horrible because actors are very sensitive and emotional," Nidhhi Agerwal said. She added that fake trolling and allegations can severely impact an actor's mental health.
As of now, there is no official confirmation regarding the relationship rumours. It remains to be seen whether Kartik Aaryan will respond to the allegations in the coming days.
