Mumbai, India – Bollywood heartthrob Kartik Aaryan recently made headlines as a video of him flying economy class during the promotions of his film ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ went viral on social media. While many praised him for his down-to-earth gesture, others speculated it to be a promotional gimmick. This marked the first time Kartik chose to travel in the economy section of a flight, following the footsteps of actors like Kriti Sanon, Katrina Kaif, and Vicky Kaushal, whose discreet videos of the flying economy also garnered attention in the past.
In the viral video, Kartik Aaryan is seen wearing a solid blue shirt as he boards the flight and takes his window seat among fellow passengers. However, to the disappointment of some, Kartik does not engage in any interaction but keeps his head down and quietly settles into his seat at the corner.

Among those questioning the authenticity of the act, one Instagram user commented, “Film promotion ke liye kuch bhi” (sic). Another user wrote, “Ye Lamborghini chalane wala actor business class me safar karega phir aaj kyu ye economy class me hai? Sab drama hai movie promotion bahana hai” (sic).
Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani are currently on a nationwide promotional tour for their movie ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha,’ which is set in Gujarat. The film’s trailer received a positive response, and the songs are gaining popularity as well. The duo reunites after the success of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2,’ which performed well at the box office last year. To pique curiosity further, the makers have included a revamped version of the Pakistani hit song ‘Pasuri Nu’ in the film. Fans eagerly await updates on ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha.’
While Kartik Aaryan’s decision to fly economy class may have sparked a debate on social media, opinions vary regarding the intention behind the act. Whether viewed as a humble gesture or a calculated promotional move, it is evident that Kartik’s popularity and the anticipation surrounding ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ continue to soar.
