Sagarika Ghatge who appeared in ' Chak De! India ' with Shah Rukh Khan and was popular then had recently made headlines by announcing that she’s expecting her first child with husband Zaheer Khan. While everyone is celebrating the good news, an old photo of her with Kartik Aaryan has surfaced. Back then, Kartik wasn’t famous yet and had met Sagarika just so she could pass on a message to Shah Rukh Khan.

Throwback moment
In 2020, Kartik Aaryan shared a throwback photo on his X (formerly Twitter) handle. The picture, taken in 2008, shows a young and adorable Kartik clicking a selfie with Chak De! India actress Sagarika Ghatge, who was busy promoting the film at the time. Little did he know then that he would go on to become one of Bollywood’s biggest stars.

As tweeted by the Pyaar Ka Punchnama actor, “2008 Mumbai Marathon!! I jumped barricades to take a pic with Preeti Sabharwal #sagarikaghatge n also told her “Shah Rukh Khan ko mera Hi bolna” @iamsrk. sir did she convey?”

Kartik's next
Kartik Aaryan, who last impressed audiences with his hit film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 directed by Anees Bazmee, is now gearing up for his next big project—an untitled musical saga . This time, he will be seen sharing the screen with South Indian actress Sreeleela, marking an exciting new pairing.

The film was officially announced in February and has already created quite a buzz among fans and movie buffs. Adding to the excitement, Kartik Aaryan shared the very first picture from the sets earlier. In the photo, he is seen alongside Sreeleela, giving fans a glimpse of their fresh on-screen chemistry.

As seen in the picture, two tea glasses placed between Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela added a warm and charming touch to the moment. Kartik captioned the post with "Tu Meri Zindagi Hai" followed by a heart-on-fire emoji, perfectly matching the cozy vibe. To make it even more special, he added the soulful track Tu Meri Zindagi Hai in the background, sung by Vishal Mishra and composed by Pritam, setting just the right emotional tone for fans to swoon over.

To play a singing sensation
Kartik is all set to take on a new role as a singing sensation in his upcoming film directed by Anurag Basu . The untitled musical saga is being produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar under T-Series Films and Anurag Basu Production. The film is also presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series.
