Kartik Aaryan & Ananya Panday Feud: The Inside Scoop on Why They Are NOT Vibing Behind the Scenes

Okay, stop everything you are doing right now. Mute the Zoom call, because the tea I’m about to spill is scorching hot. You know how we’ve been watching the promotions for this movie and getting major "awkward group project" energy? Like, the vibes were just not vibing?

Well, turns out our collective internet intuition was spot on. I got some exclusive insider info, and let’s just say... the chemistry we aren't seeing on screen is because there is absolute chaos off-screen. It’s giving "we are only here for the paycheck," and honestly? I’m living for the drama.

What is Actually Happening? The "What Could Have Been" Drama

First things first apparently, Ananya wasn't even the OG pick for this! The word on the street is that the project was originally pitched with Sharvari + Kartik. Can we take a second to imagine that power couple? Kartik was apparently super hyped about that pairing (honestly, same). When the casting shuffled and Ananya came on board, Kartik wasn't exactly jumping for joy. He allegedly tried to push for a switch, but obviously, that didn't fly. So, they started the shoot with that polite "professional colleague" energy, but we all know that facade cracks fast when the cameras stop rolling.

Main Character Energy vs. The Struggle

Here is where it gets spicy. Promotions are brutal, and apparently, the dynamic is super lopsided.

• Kartik: He is the definition of a crowd-pleaser. He walks out, the crowd roars, and he knows exactly how to work it. He’s soaking up that Main Character Energy.

• Ananya: According to the insider, she’s finding it hard to keep up. She’s coming off a bit "awkward" next to him, and she knows it. The comparison is living rent-free in her head, and she feels like she isn't getting "equal spotlight."

There was also major tea that Ananya thought her bikini scene was going to be her big "I have arrived" moment, but she's feeling insecure that the movie buzz isn't landing the way she hoped.

The KJo Venting Sessions & Punctuality Wars

If you thought they were just ignoring each other, think again. Kartik has apparently been venting to Karan Johar big time. The complaints?

• He finds her "low-energy" and "lifeless." (Ouch).

• He explicitly said they have zero spark.

• The Punctuality Incident: This is peak desi chaos. Apparently, Ananya was late to an event, and instead of waiting, Kartik just started without her. He refused to wait, chaos ensued for the organizers, and the tension hit the roof.

The Result? The team is scrambling. They are literally planning solo promotions to keep them apart because they are tired of faking smiles. They just want to be done with each other.
