At the grand Filmfare Awards 2024, a scene of fervent admiration unfolded as Bollywood celebrity Kartik Aaryan made his appearance, leading to an unexpected crowd surge that saw excited fans inadvertently breaking through a barricade. Captured largely on social media, the event highlighted the intensity of affection that fans hold for the prominent actor.
In a moment caught on video and later shared by celebrity paparazzo Viral Bhayani on Instagram, Kartik Aaryan’s entrance on the red carpet immediately attracted the attention of numerous attendees. As the ‘Dhamaka’ star took the time to engage with his supporters, fans in the thousands thronged in hopes of a close encounter with their idol.
Kartik, renowned for his connective rapport with fans, acknowledged their cheers with waves and proceeded to greet the cheering crowd. However, as the actor approached the barricades separating him from the masses, the collective excitement crossed a threshold. Fans, eagerly pushing forward to meet their screen hero, caused a barricade to give way, resulting in several people tumbling upon each other in the process.
The actor himself was visibly taken aback by the incident. Demonstrating prompt concern, Aaryan promptly requested security personnel to address the situation, ensuring the well-being of the gathered fans. Thankfully, amid the chaos, no injuries were reported, a testament to the swift response of the event’s security team and the mutual care among the crowd.
Moving away from the exhilarating interaction with his admirers, Aaryan’s professional journey continues to be a topic of interest. Following his acclaimed role in the romantic drama ‘SatyaPrem Ki Katha’, the acclaimed actor is all set to captivate audiences with his upcoming feature film ‘Chandu Champion’.
There has been a buzzing anticipation for ‘Chandu Champion’, especially since it marks the collaboration between Kartik Aaryan and renowned director Kabir Khan. In a recent revelation that has set social media abuzz, Aaryan teased fans with an enthralling new look from the film, where he is depicted in the guise of a soldier— a stark departure from his familiar roles to date.
‘Chandu Champion’, directed by Kabir Khan, delves into the inspirational life story of Murlikant Petkar, India’s first Paralympic gold medalist. The film promises to chronicle Petkar’s impressive victory in the 50 meters freestyle swimming competition at the 1972 Summer Paralympics, held in Heidelberg, Germany. Prior to his sporting achievement, Petkar’s military career and the grievous injuries he sustained during the 1965 India-Pakistan war which subsequently led him to become paraplegic and embark on a swimming career as part of his rehabilitation, form a crucial fabric of this biopic narrative.
With Kartik Aaryan at the helm of this high-profile project, expectations are high for another standout performance. Beyond ‘Chandu Champion’, Kartik Aaryan’s dynamic slate of projects is expansive. Fans can next see him in the much-anticipated sequel ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, the upcoming ‘Aashiqui 3’, and in a new venture with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, an epic war saga directed by Sandeep Modi.
Aaryan’s schedule reflects the actor’s diverse cinematic palette and his consistent effort to challenge himself with varied character roles. The near-mishap at the Filmfare Awards serves not just as a glimpse into the passionate following he commands but also as a reminder of Aaryan’s ever-growing stature in the Indian film industry.
