KARTIK’S LOVE LIFE

Your love life has always been in the spotlight, thanks to a string of linkup rumours (with Ananya Panday and Sara Ali Khan). Have you developed a way to deal with them?

There’s no ‘dealing’ with anything. As a kid, I was a huge fan of film stars, and was always interested in every aspect related to them, and not just the parts they play onscreen. Now, when people are interested in everything about me, I totally understand (the feeling). In fact, I enjoy it. Honestly, it’s a pity that I know the entire truth about what goes into the making of my ‘brand’. Else, I’d have enjoyed finding out what he’s about (laughs). I feel blessed that people love me so much that they keep talking about me. This is the life I asked for, and am happy to have got it.
