On the occasion of Mother’s Day, one Bollywood star whose bond with his mother continues to deeply resonate with fans is Kartik Aaryan. Behind his journey from Gwalior to becoming one of Hindi cinema’s most bankable names stands his biggest pillar of strength — Dr. Mala Tiwari, a qualified doctor who chose to step back from her professional routine and priorities at different points in life to ensure her son’s dream never lacked support.
1. Post-BB3 “Housefull” laughter moment
After the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Kartik shared a light-hearted video with his mother where she hilariously struggled to get tickets because shows were housefull. The clip went viral for its simplicity — a superstar’s success moment mixed with a very real, relatable mother reaction.
