Kartik Aaryan's relationship Since their film's announcement, relationship rumors about the two have circulated on the internet. Ananya Panday told the Hindustan Times that she doesn't take romance rumors seriously since people would speak about whatever they want. However, when asked if Kartik was indeed her boyfriend, she said, "Yes". Ananya and Kartik met while shooting for a movie titled Badlapur in 2015. The actress was originally supposed to play the role of Priyanka Chopra's friend but due to some reason, the part went to Ananya. Impressed by her performance, director David Michael Miller decided to cast Ananya in his next project called Mary Kom which turned out to be a blockbuster success. After completing this project, David again approached Ananya with another role and this time she agreed to play Suhani in Paan Singh Tomar. The duo once again impressed the audience with their acting skills and today they are considered as a pair since long before they got married. Ananya has also expressed her desire to marry Kartik someday. She has been linked to many big names in the industry including Vicky Kaushal, Shah Rukh Khan, and more. However, only one marriage proposal has been confirmed so far and that is between Ananya and Vicky.
