Bollywood’s glitzy celebration, the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards 2025, was not just about honoring cinematic excellence but also about the spicy gossip that emerged from the event. Kartik Aaryan’s rumored love life became the talk of the town, thanks to an unexpected exchange between him, Karan Johar, and Nora Fatehi during the grand event held on March 8 and 9 in Jaipur.
The star-studded gala was co-hosted by Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar, who entertained the audience with their witty banter. During a playful conversation, Karan offered Nora Fatehi first-class tickets to London. In response, Nora playfully asked, “Am I going with you?” Karan then redirected the offer towards Kartik, to which the actor quickly quipped, “You don’t have to go with either of us. We’ll give you a ticket, and you can go with anyone you want.”
Taking the banter a notch higher, Karan Johar added, “You can go with EaseMyTrip if you tell us who you think is the perfect match for Kartik. It could be you as well.” This prompted a cheeky response from Nora, who asked, “Koi hai iss industry mein jisko aapne abhi tak date nahi kiya? (Is there anyone in the industry you haven’t dated yet?)” Kartik, caught off guard, was seen blushing while trying to brush off the remark as just a question, much to the delight of the cheering audience.
Social Media Buzz about Karthik’s secret relationship
The lighthearted moment quickly found its way to Reddit, where a viral video of the conversation garnered diverse reactions. One user commented, “It’s not really a roast; for Kartik, it’s basically a flex. That’s how his PR was trying to build his image too, to be called a playboy.”

Adding more fuel to the speculation, Kartik Aaryan’s mother, Mala Tiwari, who was present at the IIFA, made an intriguing statement about her son’s future spouse. When asked about her expectations from her future daughter-in-law, she candidly shared that she is looking for a good doctor.
The internet wasted no time in connecting the dots, speculating that Kartik might be dating his co-star Sreelala, who is currently pursuing a medical degree. The two actors are set to share the screen in Anurag Basu’s upcoming untitled love story, further intensifying the buzz around their rumored romance.
