Bollywood’s handsome hunk, Kartik Aaryan turns a year older today. Needless to say, this birthday boy has proved his mettle right from his first film. The Gwalior boy harboured his ambition of becoming an actor and now he has turned among the youngest hit machines of Bollywood. After carving his space as the ‘monologue King of Bollywood’, the actor became the saviour of Hindi films box office with the massive success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. As Kartik Aaryan celebrates his 32nd birthday today, let’s have a look at 8 movies of him which prove he is the rising star of Bollywood.

Have a look at the best performances of birthday boy Kartik Aaryan:

Satyaprem ki katha

There is no denying that playing a relatable boy-next-door is Kartik’s core strength and he does it with immense ease in Sameer Vidwans musical romantic drama. His act as Sattu makes us smile and cry at the same time. Be it frustration, vulnerability, or carefree side, the actor lets his eyes do all the talking as he emotes the expressions with much elan. The way he gives us major husband goals who help his wife heal is something unmissable.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2

Kartik, in this funny and uncanny role of Ruaan aka Rooh Baba, delivers a performance that leaves an indelible mark. He gets ample scope to show his acting chops, dancing skills, comic timing and does trigger some genuine laughter. Be it chill-easy vibes to blowing our minds with his performance in song Ami Je Tomar, Kartik rightly slipped into the character and the film went on to resurrect the fate of Hindi movies at the box office in 2022.

Freddy

With Freddy, the actor again came out of his boy-next-door image and delivered one of his career-best performances in Shashanka Ghosh’s nail-biting psychological thriller. His transformation from a socially awkward dentist to a revenge-seeker person is simply impeccable.

Dhamaka

Kartik’s dialogue delivery and poise look as Arjun Pathak indeed left us stunned. Deviating from the guy-next-door image, the actor left us stumped with his role as a cynical, frustrated and egoistic journalist Arjun Pathak. His character forever lives in the difficulty between ethics, success and limelight. He depicts the hypocrisy of Arjun Pathak, when he transitions through his key phrase: Jo kahunga Sach Kahunga (Whatever I say, will be the truth). 

Luka Chuppi

The Laxman Utekar directorial explores the theme of live-in relationships through different lens. He binds together a socially relevant message with threads of breezy humour and pleasant performances. Kartik, as Guddu Shukla, who is a star reporter of Mathura wooes the ladies with his child-like charm. Although, there were no monologues involved in the film, the way Kartik mouths dialogues has our attention.

Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety

In Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Kartik plays yet another relatable part and pulls it off with a magnetic charm. He is a friend we yearn for in life. From being a friend who makes sure there is never a dull moment in Titu’s life to displaying his emotional side, the actor proved he is a show stealer. Sonu was undoubtedly the jaan of the. His monologues created the expected magic.

Akaash Vani

Undoubtedly, Akaash Vani is the underrated film and performance of birthday boy Kartik Aaryan. In fact, 10 years back with this film, he had shown his versatility by impressing with various range of emotions. From a fun-loving guy to a detached and bitter loner, his character haunts you for a long time.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama

If you have watched Pyaar Ka Punchnama, you can never forget the famous monologue by Kartik, describing what a girl wants in a relationship. Not only the dialogue resonate with everyone, but also the way Kartik mouths it makes the monologue memorable. With this movie, Kartik cemented his position as ‘Monologue King of Bollywood’. The success of the movie spawned a sequel which was released in 2015. Well, the words ‘Problem Kya Hai’ are still associated with him and every time we hear it the scene instantly gets recollected.
