He is the best at playing this role."

Kartik Aaryan has consistently demonstrated his ability to breathe life into all kinds of characters, winning over audiences and critics alike with his impeccable performances. In the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, 'Rooh Baba' is not merely a character but a pivotal element that adds layers of intrigue, suspense and humour to the narrative.
