Bollywood’s beloved chocolate boy Kartik Aaryan is back in the dating rumours spotlight, this time because of his flirty birthday post for up-and-coming star Sreeleela.
For the actress’s birthday, Kartik posted a flirty selfie with the caption:
“Happy birthday, Monkey Face @sreeleela14.”
It only took a single post for fans to join in on the frenzy in the comments with:
“Matlabh kuch toh hai!”, “Official ho gaya kya?”, and basically everything with a heart emoji.
The Post Going Crazy
The picture itself was plenty adorable with Kartik and Sreeleela’s candid on-set photo from their upcoming Diwali 2025 film directed by Anurag Basu. In the photo, Kartik sports his rugged look while Sreeleela makes a pouting motion amid their cosy candid moment. Oh-so-cute!
“The chemistry is unreal, even off-screen!”
wrote one fan, striking the chord found in the comments across social media.
What Happened With Kartik & Sreeleela?
Kartik and Sreeleela have been working very closely for the last few months on the untitled Anurag Basu film, and their frequent outings in public and social media, including a bash hosted by Kartik, have made speculations about them officially dating.
Even though both stars have kept things on the down-low, sources around the film unit say the two have a good equation on and off set, hanging out after they wrap up a scene.
Whether it’s good publicity or a real romance, fans are all in!
Kartik’s Romantic Slate Continues
In the meantime, Kartik, who is currently in Croatia shooting for his other romantic entertainer film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera with Ananya Panday, seems to be all about the romance stories.
It is set to release on Valentine’s weekend in 2026 (February 13), with Kartik and Ananya reuniting as Pati Patni Aur Woh co-stars.
Between Tu Meri Main Tera and his Diwali 2025 film with #Sreeleela, Kartik is owning this romantic hero lane.
Box Office Worldwide Verdict
No one knows whether Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela are actually dating or just being delightfully filmi for the ‘Gram’, but their off-screen chemistry is doing exactly what Bollywood loves to do — creating buzz, engagement, and excitement.
With two romantic films in the upcoming months with a burgeoning fandom for this new jodi, we can safely say: Kartik + Sreeleela = blockbuster chatter.
And “Monkey Face”? Well now, that became Bollywood’s cutest new ship name.
