Kartik Aaryan is undoubtedly one of the hottest properties in B-town today. After making a smashing debut with Pyaar Ka Punchnama back in 2011, the good looking actor has slowly made his mark in Bollywood. While few of his films flopped after PKP, Kartik grabbed headlines once again after starring in Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 which of course turned out to be a crowd puller. But it was last year that Kartik really announced his arrival in Bollywood with style. His romantic comedy Sonu Ke Tittu Ki Sweety was a sleeper hit of 2018 and even became one of the highest grossing films of the year. Throwback Thursday: When Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan posed with the Pakistan Hockey team.

Since then the 28-year-old has been the talk of the town and even signed few coveted projects. Apart from his acting, Kartik is also popular because of his chocolate boy looks. No wonder, his female fan following is growing with each passing day. But the actor looked a bit different before he entered films. Check out his throwback picture below.

Doesn't Kartik's old picture remind you of Salman Khan from Maine Pyaar Kiya?

Kartik, who will next be seen opposite Kriti Sanon in Lukka Chuppi, shared this throwback picture on his Instagram account and revealed that he got his first ever audition on the basis of this photo. Though he seems a little lanky, Kartik still looks super cute in his picture. And that attitude is quite sexy as well.

We think Kartik has only gotten better looking with time and he is sure to stay in Bollywood for a long inning. Interestingly, not just us but even Sara Ali Khan finds him attractive and would love to date him given a chance. Well, all we can say is - who wouldn't? After all, he is the perfect mixture of good looks, talent and the right attitude.
