He may be smiling, grinning and staying on to be positive right through the pandemic. However, amidst the film fraternity if there is one actor who is truly close to the pitfalls of the current COVID times, it is Kartik Aaryan. Coming from the family of doctors, he was the first to raise alarm around the impending explosion of the virus by means of a viral monologue on the lines of Pyaar Ka Punchnama and while that was indeed happening. This isn’t all as he was driving a few other initiatives too in the last six odd months while trying his best to educate people around the perils of not taking precautions.

Now after all these months, he has finally been seen publicly. Recently, he was spotted outside his building compound and there was an inherent charm oozing all over again. It seemed like he was out for a casual visit since he was wearing a carefree T-Shirt, comfort track pants and easy flip-flops. Of course, there was a mask on but for a brief moment when he faced the camera for a candid click by a neighbor, he did give out a smile, something that was visible from his eyes.

Given the fact that he has been shooting for some ad campaigns and also produced and delivered some thought invoking episodes for his web show Koki Poochega, it must have been a welcome relief for Kartik too to take a casual walk, even though for just a few minutes. One wonders though whether this walk was extended for a longer journey for some film related conversations with the producers and directors.

While one waits to know more about it, rest assured Kartik would soon be starting shoot for his Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 which is nearing completion. Moreover, he is also going to wrap up Dostana 2. With at least three more films in the pipeline and in different stages of production, rest assured there would be a lot of Kartik who would be seen in 2021.
