Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 actors Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani had a blast during the 2.5 years of filming. The actors spoke to Asianet Newsable about their friendship and experience of working together.
The day Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani and the entire cast and crew of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 were waiting for so long, has finally arrived! The much-awaited standalone sequel to 2007’s Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan-starrer 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa’, has released in the theatres on Friday. The film took nearly two and a half years to complete, thanks to the outbreak of the pandemic that derailed its process. However, in these years, Kartik and Kiara have grown to become friends. In an exclusive tet-e-tete with Asianet Newsable, the film’s lead pair opened up on their experience of working together and their friendship that blossomed through these 2.5 years.
According to Kiara Advani, her co-star Kartik Aaryan and she “had a blast while filming” Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. One of the reasons behind it is that the two come from the same age bracket. “It is easier when you are kind of the same age. We shot this film for 2.5 years; naturally, there was this ease and comfort. When you are shooting with someone for so long, you eventually get to know each other in the process,” said the 29-year-old actress.

Kartika Aaryan quickly joins her and quips, “We have vibed a lot. We didn’t realise how time flew by so quickly. We have shared a great work relationship and of course, friendship.” The two actors also believe that they “have grown up to this film” and that they “share a great bond”.

Since they have spent such a long time with each other, what is that one thing that they like about one another? To this, Kiara Advani says that it is Kartik Aaryan's sense of humour that she likes the most. “He has a great sense of humour which comes to him naturally. That is why his comic timing is peccable,” said Kaira, who was in Indore on Wednesday with Kartik for the film's promotions where they savoured poha-jalebi at The Park.

And for Kartik Aaryan, it is Kiara Advani’s adaptability that stands out the most. Explaining this, he says, “What I like about Kiara is that she adapts really well according to the situation. When you put people in a certain situation, they can really be averse to ideas. But Kiara is someone who is ready to adapt and explore new things. This quality of hers is also visible in her choice of characters and films.”
