Vidya Balan opens about Kartik Aaryan's relationship status: "He's always on phone with a mystery woman"

As the much-awaited Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 nears its release date, fans are buzzing with excitement to see Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan team up for the first time on-screen. Set to release on November 1, the film sees Kartik reprising his role as the quirky Rooh Baba, while Vidya returns as the iconic Manjulika, marking her comeback in this role after 17 years. The film promises a blend of horror and humor, and the duo’s off-screen camaraderie only adds to the anticipation.

Recently, Vidya dropped some light-hearted comments about Kartik's personal life, sparking fresh curiosity about his relationship status. In an interview, she teased that Kartik seems to be spending a lot of time talking to a “mystery woman,” hinting that the actor might not be as single as he claims. Kartik has always maintained that he’s single, but Vidya’s playful comments have fans speculating about who could be behind all those phone calls.

Vidya’s banter didn’t stop there. At a recent press event, she humorously commented on Kartik’s popularity with fans, particularly when a female admirer recited a heartfelt poem for him. Vidya playfully remarked, “Anyone who says they hate attention is lying!” and teased that Kartik should admit he enjoys it. Kartik responded with laughter, clarifying that he does indeed love the attention, whether it’s from male or female fans. Vidya then humorously urged him to start a serious relationship, adding, “The only relationship advice I would like to give him is to get into one and have one.”

The duo’s bond started years before filming even began, with Vidya recalling their easy connection at an awards event. She praised Kartik’s sense of humor, describing him as “great fun” and noting that their friendship has grown through mutual respect and shared laughs.

As Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 hits theaters, fans are eager to see this dynamic duo in action, and they’ll also have the chance to see how it performs as it goes head-to-head with Rohit Shetty’s multi-starrer Singham Again. With both films set to release on the same day, the box office is set for a thrilling clash.
