In the long history of Indian cinema we have seen several heroes making their position as romantic heroes of Indian cinema. Right from Rajesh Khanna to Shah Rukh Khan the audiences have loved them open heartedly. In today's generation,

Kartik Aaryan’s rise as Bollywood’s most effortless new-age romantic hero has been nothing short of remarkable. At a time when on-screen romance often feels forced, Kartik brings back sincerity, charm, and an emotional realness that make love stories resonate again. His magnetic presence and his ability to elevate every pairing have cemented him as the face of modern romance, a star whose chemistry has become his defining superpower.

A standout quality that sets Kartik apart is his remarkable ability to adapt to the energy of each co-star. With Ananya Panday, he brought youthful freshness in Pati, Patni Aur Woh and is set to explore an evolved dynamic in their upcoming Christmas release Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. His sparkling, classic-meets-modern romance with Kriti Sanon in Luka Chuppi, the raw emotional charge he shared with Sara Ali Khan in Love Aaj Kal, and the distinctly different equations he created with Kiara Advani in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Satyaprem Ki Katha showcase a versatility few actors command. Even his pairing with Triptii Dimri in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 promises a fresh, intriguing spark, while his upcoming chemistry with Sreeleela in Anurag Basu’s musical love story has already stirred high anticipation.

What remains consistent across these pairings is Kartik’s innate relatability. He brings an easy warmth, sincerity, and emotional honesty that make every romantic beat feel both cinematic and lived-in. Whether he plays the shy lover, the confused millennial, the vulnerable partner, or the mischievous charmer, Kartik connects with audiences across ages making them root for him, feel for him, and fall in love with his characters again and again.
