Kartik Aaryan accused of dating minor girl, called Indian Leonardo Di'Caprio; pic leaked online

Actor Kartik Aaryan has found himself at the centre of social media discussion following reports linking him to a young woman during his New Year vacation. According to online chatter, the actor welcomed the New Year at a beach destination, where he was reportedly accompanied by a woman identified as Karina.

While Kartik had earlier shared pictures from his New Year celebration at an undisclosed beach location, social media users soon began drawing connections after similar visuals surfaced on Karina’s social media, suggesting that the two may have been at the same place.

The speculation intensified when claims surfaced online suggesting that the woman was 18 years old. However, her exact age was not officially confirmed at the time, leading to widespread debate and criticism on social media platforms.

The alleged age gap quickly became a talking point, with netizens expressing outrage and demanding clarity. Amid the growing backlash, reports claimed that Kartik Aaryan and Karina unfollowed each other on social media, further fuelling rumours of a fallout or an attempt to distance themselves from the controversy.

No Official Statement

Neither Kartik Aaryan nor the woman in question has issued any official statement regarding the nature of their relationship or the claims circulating online. As a result, much of the information continues to remain speculative, driven largely by social media observations and user assumptions rather than confirmed facts.

On the professional front, Kartik Aaryan continues to remain busy with his acting commitments. He was last seen on screen alongside Ananya Panday, and his upcoming projects are keenly awaited by fans.

Despite the ongoing online buzz around his personal life, the actor has chosen to maintain silence, focusing instead on his work. As with many celebrity-related controversies, clarity is expected only if an official response is made; until then, the speculation continues to dominate online conversations.
