Kartik Aaryan

Kartik Aaryan is the rare current A-lister who genuinely came from nowhere, an engineering student from Gwalior with no film connections who landed Pyaar Ka Punchnama and its now-legendary uninterrupted rant monologue. For years he was the outsider knocking, the face of the middle-class-boy-made-good story the industry loves to tell about itself and rarely lives.

Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety made him bankable, and then Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 turned him into a genuine box-office draw almost single-handedly, at a moment when a lot of bigger names were stumbling. Chandu Champion, a biographical role, won him a Filmfare and shut down the argument that he was only a light-comedy face.

He is one of the most-followed young stars on social media and a magnet for the pack outside every gym and airport in Mumbai. The cameras rarely have to look far.
