Kartik Aaryan, who started his acting career with Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2013), has come a long way in his professional life. Today, he is known as one of the most bankable actors in the industry. The massive success of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) and Luka Chuppi (2019) has further cemented his position in the business.
Back-to-back box-office hits have reportedly prompted the rising star of Bollywood to raise his remuneration. Yes, according to reports, Kartik Aaryan has decided to hike his fees to a whopping ₹ 7 crore. The makers who want to cast him in his projects hereon should be ready to shell out the amount to get the actor onboard.
“Going forward, Kartik Aaryan has decided to increase his fees to Rs. 7 crore. In the last 1 ½ years, his brand value has gone up by many notches. He has reached a stage wherein audiences will come to the theatres because of his presence in a film. Hence, it is only natural that he decided that he deserves better pay. As a result, after discussing with his team, he has decided to charge ₹ 7 crore for his films from now on. He is sure that filmmakers won’t have issues paying him the said amount since they know that his presence adds a lot to a movie,” a well-placed source reveals to an entertainment portal.
Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan is presently busy promoting his upcoming film Pati Patni Aur Woh which also features Ananya Panday and Bhumi Pednekar in principal roles. After Pati Patni Aur Woh, the actor will be seen in the Imtiaz Ali directorial, tentatively titled Aaj Kal. This will be followed by the much-awaited horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 with Kiara Advani and Dharma Productions’ Dostana 2 with Janhvi Kapoor and debutant Lakshya.
Perry's onstage quip about "Englishmen" felt like a deliberate signal.
Those yacht photos are, frankly, undeniable.
It started with a Montreal dinner most people missed.
Both are out of long-term relationships.
Well, she’s as good as confirmed it, hasn’t she? Katy Perry just tossed a verbal grenade into her London concert, and the pieces all point to Justin Trudeau. That line about Englishmen? You do not say that by accident. It lands just days after those, let's face it, pretty steamy pictures of them surfaced on her boat. This Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau thing is suddenly feeling very real, shifting from rumours to a full-blown celebrity romance.

So what did she actually say?
Mid-show at the O2, looking out at the crowd, she hits them with this: "London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night?... No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time."
Pause.
Then came the kicker: "...but not anymore." The place erupts. It was too specific, too perfectly timed. And then, almost as if scripted, some fan proposes to her. Her comeback was: "I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago." What is that, if not a nod to a new, serious someone?
Let’s talk about the yacht. The Daily Mail got those shots and, while grainy, the story they tell is crystal clear. The photos were taken off the coast of Santa Barbara, on her 78-foot Caravelle. He is pulling her in, kissing her cheek. His hand was on her backside in another frame. This follows that low-key Montreal dinner in July that almost flew under the radar.

Where does this leave everyone?
Right, let us look at the context. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom only finalised their split recently, with the co-parenting news coming out in July. Justin Trudeau’s marriage to Sophie Grégoire also ended last year. Both are prominent figures with busy lives who have only just become single. Sources are already saying he has been "persistent," flying to see her on tour breaks. It has the feel of something that is accelerating fast. And Perry, with that London comment, seems ready to let it.
