Kartik Aaryan recently found himself in the middle of fresh online talk after photos from Goa went viral. The pictures showed him in the same place as Karina Kubiliute, an 18-year-old UK-based cheerleader and college student. Very soon, social media started guessing and calling her Kartik’s “mystery girl.” Her name suddenly became one of the most searched online. The rumours spread fast and created a lot of noise, even though nothing was confirmed.At this time, ETimes takes a throwback moment at when the ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ actor reacted to the viral Coldplay kiss cam controversy.
Coldplay kiss cam that broke the internet
During a Coldplay concert in Boston on July 18, the stadium kiss cam caught former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s HR head Kristin Cabot in an awkward and intimate moment. As the camera zoomed in, Byron ducked while Cabot covered her face. Coldplay singer Chris Martin joked on the mic, “Either they are having an affair or they are just very shy.” The clip went viral within hours.
Kartik’s funny twist on the scandal
Like many others online, Kartik Aaryan also reacted but in his own fun way. He shared a reel on Instagram imagining what would happen if the kiss cam caught him instead. In his version, the big “crime” was not romance but food. The video showed Kartik enjoying chocolate. Then he suddenly realised he was on camera. He panicked, spat out the chocolate, ran away, and returned with dumbbells to start working out. His idea was clear. A fitness lover getting caught cheating on his diet.The caption said it all. Kartik wrote, “Almost got fired.” The reel made fans laugh and showed his light mood even during viral drama.Fast forwarding to Kartik and Karina issue, the latter did not stay quiet for long. She took to Instagram and clearly denied all the dating talk. She updated her bio and wrote, “I don’t know Kartik, I’m not his gf, I’m on holiday with my family.” With this simple line, she tried to stop all the guessing and clear the air.
Work front and staying calm
On the work side, Kartik Aaryan was last seen in ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’ opposite Ananya Panday. The film released on December 25, 2025. Sadly, it did not impress the audience and earned around 32 crore at the box office.
