Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan finds himself at the centre of fresh, unverified dating speculation, but this time, the buzz isn't linked to a fellow actress. The rumours involve a mystery woman, identified as Karina Kubiliute, and have ignited conversations across social media platforms.
The Viral Photos That Started It All
The chatter began when Kartik, who is reportedly taking a break in Goa, shared a photo of himself relaxing on a beach bed against a stunning sunset backdrop. Shortly after, eagle-eyed internet users on platforms like Reddit surfaced a similar photo posted by a woman named Karina Kubiliute. The images showed an uncanny resemblance, from the similar beach towels to the distinct volleyball court visible in the background, strongly suggesting the photos were taken at the same location and time.
Adding fuel to the fire, screenshots quickly circulated online showing that Kartik Aaryan was following Karina Kubiliute on Instagram. This digital connection served as a major catalyst for the link-up rumours, leading fans and gossipmongers to speculate about a potential new romance brewing away from the limelight.
The Unfollow Drama and Age Speculation
Amid the growing online frenzy, the plot thickened. Netizens noticed that Kartik Aaryan unfollowed Karina on Instagram. To add to the mystery, it was also observed that Karina, who was seemingly following the actor, unfollowed him back. This mutual digital distancing only amplified speculation that there might be some truth to the rumours that they wished to keep private.
The intrigue deepened as questions about Karina Kubiliute's identity and age emerged. Her public profiles reveal very little, but photos from what appears to be a high school graduation party in 2024 have led to online rumours that she might be a teenager currently studying in the United Kingdom. Viral images of her in a school uniform have further raised eyebrows and questions regarding her age and the nature of her connection with the 33-year-old actor. It is crucial to emphasize that all these claims about her age and their relationship remain completely unverified.
Kartik's Work Front: A Box Office Struggle
On the professional front, Kartik Aaryan was last seen in the romantic drama 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri' alongside Ananya Panday. Released on Christmas Day, the film opened to a lukewarm response at the box office and has struggled to find its footing since.
The film's total collection stands at approximately Rs 32 crore. This figure is notably lower than the performance of other recent releases. For comparison, Agastya Nanda's 'Ikkis' earned Rs 21 crore in its first weekend alone, while Ranveer Singh's blockbuster 'Dhurandhar' scored a massive Rs 1212 crore during its month-long theatrical run.
As the actor enjoys his downtime in Goa, the unconfirmed personal rumours have undoubtedly stolen the spotlight from his recent professional outing, showcasing the intense public interest in his life off-screen.
