“Now I think that rift was fake,” tweeted a fan. Another Twitter user wrote, “How sweet is Kartik Aaryan. He is being cordial and nice to Karan. He deserves all the love from audience for his nature.” Another tweet read, “Hatchet buried, I guess?” 

However, some fans also pointed out that Kartik and Karan were simply ‘being civil’ in public. “It's called being civil and not trying to create a scene in public, unlike what Varun did,” tweeted a person. A fan also brought up the nepotism debate surrounding Karan, writing, “Kartik is sitting with someone he shouldn't be sitting with.”

Kartik was to star with Janhvi Kapoor in Dostana 2, but the actor was dropped from the project. Karan’s Dharma Productions in a statement had said, “Due to professional circumstances, on which we have decided to maintain a dignified silence, we will be recasting Dostana 2, directed by Collin D’Cunha. Please wait for the official announcement soon.”

Meanwhile, Kartik hosted a special screening of his film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 for children from the NGO CRY Foundation last week. In the pictures shared online, the actor was seen interacting with the kids, as they watched his film; he later danced with them. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 surpassed the 175 crore mark at the domestic box office.
