Mumbai, January 26: Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan marked the 76th Republic Day by sharing a powerful image featuring himself alongside Indian armed forces personnel, extending warm wishes to the nation on the occasion.
Taking to social media, the actor simply wrote, “Happy Republic Day,” accompanying a striking photograph that instantly caught the attention of fans. The image shows Kartik standing amid a group of uniformed commandos, all raising their fists in a gesture symbolising unity, strength and national pride. The Indian tricolour can be seen fluttering prominently in the background, adding to the patriotic sentiment of the frame. Dressed in a smart black outfit, the actor appears confident and composed, though the exact time and location of the photograph were not disclosed.
The post was widely appreciated by fans, who praised the actor for honouring the spirit of the day and acknowledging the contribution of the armed forces.
On the professional front, Kartik Aaryan has firmly established himself as one of Bollywood’s leading actors with a string of successful films. From his breakout role in Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety to critically and commercially noted performances in Dhamaka, Satyaprem Ki Katha, Chandu Champion and the blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, the actor has showcased versatility across genres.
Kartik was last seen in the romantic drama Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, which featured Ananya Panday opposite him. Despite considerable pre-release buzz, the film received a lukewarm response at the box office.
During the film’s promotions, Kartik appeared on the popular streaming sketch comedy show The Great Indian Kapil Show along with Ananya Panday. In a light-hearted moment, he spoke about the wedding festivities of her sister Kritika Tiwari, jokingly telling host Kapil Sharma that he was merely a guest at his own family wedding and even danced for free, as his sister did not pay him a single penny.
The candid remark drew laughter from the audience, once again highlighting Kartik’s relatable charm.
