Kartik Aaryan recalls visiting Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat and Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments for the first time: ‘I almost ran from there escaping the lathi charge’

On the new episode of Aap Ki Adalat, Rajat Sharma asked him about his early days and how he would click selfies outside Shah Rukh Khan’s residence Mannat. Kartik replied, “It was actually my first day when I came to Mumbai. It was a Sunday. I have always been a fan of Shah Rukh sir. I get inspired by his story that he created his own niche and received love from the audience. So I reached Bandstand the first day thinking I'll see him wave. What happened actually was when he left, he was in his car. While leaving, he waved looking at everyone. Mujhe actually laga ki unhone mujhe dekha (I thought he looked at me).”

“Toh bas main pura time khush tha ki, ‘Shah Rukh sir ne mujhe dekh liya. Toh mera din ban gaya, mera Mumbai aana safal hogaya uss time’ (So I was happy the entire time thinking, 'Shah Rukh sir saw me. My day has been made, coming to Mumbai was worth it)'. I went a little ahead and there was Galaxy Apartments. I stood outside Salman Khan sir's house too. But it was different there since a massive crowd gathered leading to a lathi charge. Toh main almost bhaga waha se lathiyo se bachta hua (I almost ran from there escaping the sticks). Both incidents took place on the same day. It was a weird but memorable day for me," Kartik continued.

On the professional front, Kartik Aaryan will kick off 2023 with Shehzada. The ensemble star cast of the film also includes Kriti Sanon, Paresh Rawal, and Manisha Koirala, among others.
