Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan is celebrating his 35th birthday on November 22. The actor has come far in his journey and has delivered some of the iconic roles. From his breakout role in Pyaar Ka Punchnama, which made him the “monologue king,” to his critically acclaimed performance in Chandu Champion, Kartik has consistently captivated audiences with his charm, comic timing, and ability to bring complex characters to life. Take a look at some of his best performances over the years. Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011)Kartik Aaryan made his debut with Luv Ranjan's youth-focused comedy, which made him an overnight star. He portrayed Rajat, Rajjo Mridul, one of three bachelors navigating heartbreak and love in contemporary relationships. Kartik became known as the monologue king after his five-minute tirade about men's difficulties in relationships went viral. Chandu Champion (2024)Kartik delivers an impactful performance in Kabir Khan's Chandu Champion. He played India's first gold medallist in the Paralympic Games, Murlikant Petkar. The film narrates the inspirational tale of an army man who overcomes both physical and psychological suffering to create sporting history after suffering serious injuries during combat. Kartik received the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for his stellar performance in the film. Freddy (2022)Kartik boldly deviated from his typical persona in Freddy. He portrayed Dr Freddy Ginwala, a socially awkward and bashful dentist whose obsession with a woman pushes him into sinister, perverse territory. He received praise from critics for his nuanced yet eerie performance. Akaash Vani (2013)Kartik stars with Nushrat Bharucha and Sunny Singh in this romance drama. The film revolves around Vani, whose life is turned upside down after her lover Akaash's departure abroad for studies. She marries Ravi, an abusive man, due to societal pressure.

Dhamaka (2021)Kartik portrays a journalist who receives a threat after exclusively interviewing a terrorist, who threatens to blow up the Bandra Worli Sea Link in Mumbai, in a remake of The Terror Live. The film also stars Mrunal Thakur and Amruta Subhash in prominent roles. Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 (2015)Kartik reunited with director Luv Ranjan in the sequel. The movie had a similar plot, with three friends falling in love with women who hilariously drive them insane. With his seven-minute nonstop monologue, Kartik once again took centre stage and demonstrated his unrivalled comedic flair. Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018)In Kartik's career, this movie marked a huge change. In the role of Titu's protective best friend, Sonu Sharma, he attempts to prevent his friend from getting married to the cunning Sweety. His clever dialogue went viral, and he had perfect chemistry with co-stars Sunny Singh and Nushrratt Bharuccha. Luka Chuppi (2019)Kartik portrayed Mathura TV reporter Guddu Shukla in Luka Chuppi, who develops feelings for Kriti Sanon's character, Rashmi. Before getting married, the couple chooses to try living together, but when their families assume they are already married, things get out of hand. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022)In the sequel to the classic Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Kartik portrayed Rooh Baba, a phoney psychic who unintentionally comes across actual paranormal occurrences. The film also stars Kiara Advani in the lead and revolves around Ruhan, who agrees to accompany Reet back home after an accident. However, due to a series of untimely incidents, he gets caught up in her family's skirmish.
