In a video shared by a paparazzo account, Kartik Aaryan wore a black traditional kurta for the festival and met fans, mostly children, outside his home. At first, he tried to maintain social distance while obliging for pictures.

However, fans began grabbing his hand in an attempt to get his attention. While Kartik tried to move, he couldn't easily get out from the crowd.

He also posed for a picture with a lamp in his hand. “Diye ne mujhe chamka diya (The lamp brightened me up),” he captioned the post.

Earlier this week, Kartik had attended a Diwali party at producer Ekta Kapoor's home in Mumbai. Pictures from the party revealed that Kartik dressed in a maroon kurta and posed with the guests. Kartik recently wrapped the filming of Freddy, which is co-produced by Ekta's Balaji Telefilms and Jay Shewakramani's banner Northern Lights Films.

Kartik also has Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 in the making. The film, a sequel to Priyadarshan's 2007 horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa which starred Akshay Kumar in the lead, has Kartik teaming up with Kiara Advani and Tabu.

Besides these films, Kartik is also gearing for the release of his upcoming film Dhamaka. The film is set to release on Netflix and Kartik plays the role of a news anchor in it.
