Bollywood celebs came together for a wonderful evening at the 25th International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA), which took place on March 8–9. The event was hosted by Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan, and amid the festivities, a funny incident involving Kartik and Nora Fatehi became viral on the internet.
During the award function, Nora Fatehi playfully teased Kartik Aaryan about his numerous dating rumours, which often surround the actor.
Kartik has been romantically linked with several co-stars over the years, including Sara Ali Khan during the filming of Love Aaj Kal, Ananya Panday, and now, speculation is rife about his relationship with Sreeleela, his co-actor in Anurag Basu’s upcoming project.
In a viral video from the awards night, Karan Johar and Kartik, while hosting the event, approached Nora, who was seated in the front row. Karan jokingly asked Nora, “Will you go to London with a first-class ticket?” to which Nora responded, “Am I going with you?” Karan quickly clarified, “I am talking about Kartik.”

Kartik explained that neither he nor Karan would be joining her, but her trip to London would be fully sponsored. Karan then playfully questioned Nora about her relationship status, recalling that she had told him the night before that she was single.

Nora, however, shifted the conversation to Kartik, asking, “Koi hai iss industry mein jisko aapne date nahi kiya?” (Is there anyone in the industry you haven’t dated?), which sent the audience into fits of laughter. Kartik tried to brush it off, saying, "She is just asking a question.”

At the same awards ceremony, Kartik’s mother seemingly hinted at his relationship with Sreeleela when asked by Karan if she preferred an actor or a doctor as her daughter-in-law. She opted for a doctor, which raised eyebrows, as Sreeleela holds an MBBS degree and was seen attending a family event with Kartik.
Amid all the fun and banter, Kartik Aaryan had a reason to celebrate as he won the Best Actor award for his role in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 at IIFA 2025.
