Kartik Aaryan¡¯s personal life is often doing rounds on social media, and this time, the focus is on his Aashiqui co-star Sreeleela. The rumors started when Sreeleela was seen at a family gathering with Kartik. Things got more interesting when his mother, Mala Tiwari, made a comment at the IIFA 2025 event.
At the event, Karan Johar asked Kartik¡¯s mother what kind of daughter-in-law she wanted. As the crowd shouted Ananya Panday¡¯s name, she said, ¡°The family¡¯s demand is a very good doctor.¡± Kartik quickly said his mother actually meant a doctor and wasn¡¯t talking about anyone in particular. But fans were not convinced.
As the video surfaced online fans were quick to flood the comments section. Where one user said ¡®Jodi salamat rahe¡¯ (May the couple stay blessed), another said ¡®woh toh itne saal se keh rahi hai doctor chahiye¡¯ (she has been saying since years she wants a doctor daughter in law)
Sreeleela is an actress who has worked in Telugu and Kannada films. She started her career as a child artist and later starred in films like Kiss, Pelli SandaD, Dhamaka, and Bhagavanth Kesari. She also had a special appearance in Pushpa 2 and has won three South Indian International Movie Awards.
What makes her connection to Kartik¡¯s mother¡¯s statement interesting is that she is also a doctor. She completed her MBBS in 2021. Sreeleela was born in the US but grew up in Bangalore. Her mother, Swarnalatha, is a gynecologist, and Sreeleela wanted to become a doctor before entering films. This has made fans wonder if Kartik¡¯s mother was hinting at her.
Kartik has always avoided talking about his relationships, but he has been linked with several Bollywood actresses. He was rumored to have dated Sara Ali Khan, but their relationship reportedly ended quickly. He has also been linked with Kriti Sanon, Ananya Panday, and Tara Sutaria.
Once, on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Kartik was teased about his love life. During a game, Vidya Balan asked him about his girlfriend. She said that while shooting for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, he was always on his phone between takes. She tried to overhear his conversations but could only hear him say, ¡°Me too, Me too.¡± When she asked him directly, Kartik joked, ¡°Her name is Meetu.¡±
Kapil Sharma also asked Kartik¡¯s mother about his dating history. She laughed and said, ¡°Kis kis ka naam loge, ek ho to bolo¡± (How many names will you take? If there was just one, I could answer). This made everyone laugh, but it also suggested that Kartik has had quite a few relationships.
Kartik has always been close to his mother. She often attends events with him, and fans still remember her dancing at the Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety success party.
Right now, Kartik and Sreeleela are working on a film directed by Anurag Basu. While many believe it is Aashiqui 3, there is no official confirmation. Whether the dating rumors are true or not, fans are excited to see them together on screen.
