Kartik Tiwari Aaryan was born in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh to Dr. Manish & Mala Tiwari. He is an Indian actor who works in Bollywood films. He started to struggle for his acting career in 2009 where he lied to his parents that he wanted to study engineering in Mumbai but he instead would skip his college and went for film auditions and would get rejected every time. He finally got his first film, Pyaar Ka Punchnama in 2011 where he played Rajjo (Rajat), one of the leads opposite Nushrratt Bharuccha & Sonnalli Seygall. After the release of his first film, his mother insisted him to complete his engineering course. After completing his college, he made his comeback with the 2013-box office failure Akash-Vani where he was paired with Bharuccha again and this film was also directed by their PKP director Luv Ranjan. Aaryan changed his name on the day of Kaanchi: The Unbreakable (2014)'s release. His first biggest success came with the 2018-buddy drama Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety where he starred opposite Bharuccha again & Sunny Singh Nijjar (his co-star from Akash-Vani & Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2). After the success of this film, he bought a bungalow in Mumbai and invited his parents also to live with him there. He also starred in movies like Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 (2015), Guest inn London (2017), Luka Chuppi (2019), Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), Love Aaj Kal (2020) etc.
