Kartik Aaryan flaunts latest Best Actor award win: ‘Critics aur popular dono jeet gaya’

Kartik Aaryan experienced a fantastic 2024. The actor starred in two distinct films, starting with the biographical sports drama Chandu Champion and subsequently the horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Currently, he is relishing a ‘unique moment’ after receiving the Best Actor award at the Zee Cine Awards for both of these films.

Kartik shared a collection of pictures with his two awards on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday morning. In a certain photo, he grinned with the two trophies set before him.

In the caption, he reflected, “Samajh rahe ho na (Can you imagine) !! Critics aur Popular dono jeet gaya (Won both Critics and Popular choice) (red heart emoticons) Rare moment in an actors life (folded hands emoticon) Critics Best Actor Leading Role- Chandu Champion. Best Actor Popular Leading Role – Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. 2024- A year to Remember #Gratitude Thank you @ZeeCineAwards.”

Kartik worked with director Kabir Khan for the first time in Chandu Champion, which was a biopic of Murlikant Petkar, India’s first Paralympic gold medalist, born on November 1, 1944, in Maharashtra. The film traced different phases and obstacles of his life. Petkar excelled in multiple sports, especially wrestling and hockey.

Kartik returned to his role as Rooh Baba in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Helmed by Anees Bazmee, the third installment of the horror comedy series also featured Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri in key roles. The Diwali release posed stiff competition to Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again and eventually triumphed at the box office.
