The success of his recent outing has not only added to his list of box office successes but has also made him one of the youngest and most profitable global stars.
Coming from the small town of Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, India, he made his debut with Luv Ranjan's "Pyaar Ka Punchnama" (2011). The film, featuring complete outsiders and newbies, became a sleeper-hit at the box office, with Kartik's monologue becoming the USP of the film.

From "PKP 2" (2015), "Sonu Ke Titu Ke Sweety" (2018), "Luka Chuppi" (2019), "Pati Patni Aur Woh" (2019), "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2" (2022), "Dhamaka" (2022) to "Freddy" (2022), he always had something new for his fans, exploring different genres and roles. Even his dance numbers became chartbusters, with his hook steps going viral and trending on the internet for a long time.
Kartik's reach on social media is giant amidst the netizens, reigning on all platforms with millions of followers.
