Kartik Aaryan claims that he “didn’t get the time” to date, which is why he is single

From a professional standpoint, Kartik Aaryan has had a pleasant Diwali. His most recent film, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, is doing very well in Indian theaters and making a lot of money. With the simultaneous release of Chandu Champion and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, the actor has had a busy time. He claims it’s understandable why he doesn’t have time for dating. Kartik reiterated his single status in a recent interview, citing his job as the reason.

In an interview with Mashable India, Kartik said, “I am single. I don’t have to send my live location to anyone. I am not even present in any dating applications. Technically, since the time I have been preparing and shooting for Chandu Champion, I didn’t get the time.”

The actor attributed his singledom to his strict regimen and prep for Chandu Champion, where he played boxer-turned-para swimmer Murlikant Petkar. “I was in such a strict regimen, in which I had to calculate my gym, eating, and sleeping pattern, just like an athlete. All of that went on for two years. In fact, I was also learning swimming for the very first time. The routine became so hectic. Plus, shooting for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and finishing it in a specific period of time was also a challenge. So, I was completely busy with all that,” Kartik added.

The most recent film in which Kartik appeared was Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which opened in theaters on Friday over the Diwali weekend. The movie did rather well on Monday and has already made over ₹150 crore worldwide in its first weekend of release. In India, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 made ₹17.50 crore on Monday, bringing its four-day domestic total to ₹123.50 crore. In its first weekend of release, the movie brought in over ₹30 crore worldwide.
