Kartik Aaryan, born Kartik Tiwari on November 22, 1990, in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, is an Indian actor who primarily works in Hindi films. While pursuing an engineering degree in biotechnology at D.

Although his initial films like “Akaash Vani” (2013) and “Kaanchi” (2014) didn’t propel his career, Kartik found commercial success in Ranjan’s comedies “Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2” (2015) and “Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety” (2018), with the latter serving as his breakthrough film.
