Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2023: Karan Johar praises Kartik Aaryan after ‘Dostana 2’ fallout

Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar are currently attending the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne. A new video from the festival shows Karan praising Kartik Aaryan for his films, including ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’.

Karan Johar was seen talking about Kartik Aaryan, who was present at the panel. He started by joking about him getting married by the end of the festival, referring to a fan who proposed to him after the screening of his film ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ at the festival.

Karan then added, ‘Kartik's films have deeply resonated with the country and has always brought in so much fervour back to the cinema halls. More power to him. May his contribution to cinema always continue. Well done, Kartik.’

Earlier in 2021, there were reports of a fallout between the two after Kartik opted out of ‘Dostana 2’.

For the unversed, at the screening of the film ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ in Melbourne, a female fan told Kartik, ‘I know I'll never get a chance to ask you this question ever again but... will you marry me?’

The actor shared the incident on his Instagram page. ‘Aur yaha meri bolti band ho gayi, Mummy se pooch ke batata hu (Here, I was left speechless. I will ask my mother and tell you.),’ he wrote.

Kartik’s last film ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ featured him alongside Kiara Advani. The film was released on June 29 and it emerged as a box office hit.

He is now busy with Kabir Khan's ‘Chandu Champion’.
