Reddit draws comparison between Kartik Aaryan and Himesh Reshammiya's looks

A Reddit user shared a picture of Himesh's look from his recent release, Badass Ravikumar, alongside Kartik's look from his upcoming film with Sreeleela and wrote, "Aashiqui 3 is a biopic on Himesh Reshammiya, haters will disagree." Many agreed with the caption and criticised Kartik’s appearance.

One Reddit user joked, "Kartik Aaryan as Himesh Reshammiya. Sreeleela as Ranu Mondal." Another commented, "Does it have Tan Tan Tandoori Nights? No Himesh biopic can be complete without that masterpiece." Another comment read, "I kept thinking it really was Himesh the entire time!!!!!"

Criticising Kartik’s long hair and heavy beard look, one person wrote, "After Ranbir in Animal, many actors have copied this look. Himesh in Ravi Kumar, Varun in Baby John, Kartik in A3, and Tiger has copied that other look in Baaghi 4. It's ridiculous." Another wrote, "What is it with Indian cinema and men’s hairstyling?… FFS, no wonder the rest of the world seems to hate us." Another comment read, "Off-topic, but I have really high hopes for Aashiqui 3. Kartik’s look seems very over-the-top, broken, confused, and toxic."
