Kartik Aaryan’s fans did not take Vijay Varma's comment well. Social media soon saw mixed reactions, with some users criticising Vijay and interpreting the remark as a backhanded compliment. A few even labelled him “jealous” and a “hypocrite,” recalling that the two actors had earlier shared space during an actors’ roundtable discussion

Actor Vijay Varma, who is currently promoting his latest web series Matka King, found himself at the centre of an unexpected social media debate following a remark about actor Kartik Aaryan.

During a candid interaction with WeAreYuvaa, Vijay took part in a rapid-fire segment where he was asked to assign traits to fellow actors based on their perceived strengths. When he was asked who he thinks is the “King of PR” in Bollywood, he took Kartik's name, a comment that caught the internet’s attention.

While the statement appeared to be made in a light-hearted context, a section of Kartik’s fanbase did not take it well. Social media soon saw mixed reactions, with some users criticising Vijay and interpreting the remark as a backhanded compliment. A few even labelled him “jealous” and a “hypocrite,” recalling that the two actors had earlier shared space during an actors’ roundtable discussion.

However, the backlash was met with an equally strong wave of support for Vijay. Many netizens defended the actor, urging others not to overanalyse a comment made during a fun segment.
