Coming from a family of doctors, with his father, Manish Tiwari, a pediatrician, and his mother, Mala Tiwari, a gynecologist, Aaryan initially pursued an engineering degree in biotechnology at D. Y. Patil College of Engineering in Navi Mumbai while secretly aspiring to become an actor. His acting career began with his debut in the 2011 film Pyaar Ka Punchnama, where a memorable four-minute monologue earned him significant attention.

Early Life & Education

Kartik Aaryan was born on November 22, 1990, in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. He is of Indian ethnicity, specifically from the North Indian cultural background, and was raised in a Hindu family.

His father, Manish Tiwari, is a pediatrician, and his mother, Mala Tiwari, is a gynecologist. Kartik has an elder sister named Kritika Tiwari.

For his education, Kartik completed his schooling at St. Paul’s Senior Secondary School in Gwalior and later graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from D. Y. Patil College of Engineering in Navi Mumbai. While in college, he maintained his focus on acting, participating in theatre and attending acting workshops, eventually leading him to pursue a career in Bollywood.

Career

Kartik Aaryan launched his Bollywood career in 2011 with the sleeper hit Pyaar Ka Punchnama, directed by Luv Ranjan. His character’s iconic four-minute monologue became a cultural milestone, establishing him as a promising newcomer.

Although Pyaar Ka Punchnama marked a success, Aaryan‘s early career faced challenges, with his subsequent films Akaash Vani (2013) and Kaanchi: The Unbreakable (2014) failing to impact the box office.

A turning point came in 2015 with Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, where Aaryan once again delivered a memorable monologue, further solidifying his comedic talent. However, his true breakthrough came in 2018 with Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, one of the year’s highest-grossing films, and cemented Aaryan‘s status as a leading star in romantic comedies.

He continued to shine in romantic comedies with films like Luka Chuppi (2019), opposite Kriti Sanon, and Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), where his ability to blend humor with more complex character portrayals stood out.

Aaryan‘s versatility expanded with the 2021 thriller Dhamaka, released on an OTT platform, where he played a journalist in a high-pressure situation.

In 2022, his role as Rooh Baba in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 became a commercial hit, marking his success in the horror-comedy genre. This was followed by Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024), further cementing his reputation. Aaryan‘s portrayal of real-life Paralympic champion Murlikant Petkar in Chandu Champion (2024) earned critical praise, showcasing his depth as an actor beyond comedy.

Known for his connection with younger audiences, Aaryan‘s relatable image and strong social media presence have only enhanced his popularity. He has endorsed various brands, hosted award shows, and appeared in Forbes India’s Celebrity 100 list in 2019, underscoring his growing influence in the entertainment industry.

Personal Life

Kartik Aaryan is not married and does not have a wife, maintaining a private stance on his personal life with no public records confirming any marriage. He also has no children. He stands at approximately 6 feet 0 inches (183 cm) tall.

In 2011, he was rumored to be dating model Dimple Sharma, though it was never confirmed. His frequent co-star in the “Pyaar Ka Punchnama” series, Nushrratt Bharuccha, led to speculations due to their on-screen chemistry, but they clarified they were just friends.

Rumors linked him with actress Fatima Sana Shaikh, but no official confirmation was made. Sara Ali Khan‘s public crush on Kartik during “Koffee With Karan” in 2018 led to dating rumors. They worked together on “Love Aaj Kal” (2020), but the relationship reportedly ended before the film’s release.

Kartik was also linked with Janhvi Kapoor during their collaboration on “Dostana 2“, but he later left the project, and the alleged relationship ended. After “Pati Patni Aur Woh,” Kartik was rumored to be dating Ananya Panday in 2020, which was confirmed by Ananya‘s mother on “Koffee With Karan,” though they later parted ways.

In 2022, there were unsubstantiated rumors about him dating Pashmina Roshan, Hrithik Roshan‘s cousin. Late 2023 saw speculation about a relationship with Tara Sutaria, but it was not officially confirmed like most of his dating rumors.

Net Worth

Kartik Aaryan‘s net worth is estimated to be around Rs 250 crore, which translates to approximately $30 million (USD), based on the current exchange rate. This wealth accumulation reflects an 81.6% jump in his assets from 2022, driven by his successful film career and lucrative brand endorsements.

Aaryan reportedly earns between Rs 40 to 50 crore per movie, equivalent to around $4.8 to $6 million (USD), following the success of films like “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3“. His endorsement deals with brands like Armani Exchange, Superdry, McDonald’s, and Cadbury Silk significantly add to his earnings.

Moreover, his investment in Mumbai’s luxury real estate and his collection of high-end cars, including a Lamborghini Urus and a McLaren GT, showcase his financial standing.
