Kartik Aaryan’s rumored relationship with South actress Sreeleela has been making waves, and now, his mother has seemingly added more fuel to the speculation. Recently, Kartik’s mother, Mala Tiwari, attended the IIFA Awards 2025 with her son, where she made a statement that caught everyone’s attention.
A clip from the IIFA event has surfaced on social media in which Mala Tiwari was asked about her expectations for her future daughter-in-law. Her response, “The family’s demand is a very good doctor,” has led fans to believe that she might be hinting at Kartik’s rumored relationship with Sreeleela.
For the unversed, Sreeleela is not only a successful actress but is also pursuing a medical degree. This connection has sparked widespread speculation, as fans wonder whether Kartik’s mother is indirectly confirming their relationship.
Sreeleela has already been seen spending time with Kartik Aaryan’s family. Earlier this month, she was part of a celebratory bash hosted by Kartik’s family in honor of his sister, Dr. Kritika Tiwari, who achieved another milestone in her medical career.

A video from the event showed Kartik and Sreeleela enjoying themselves at the party. The actress was seen performing her signature hook step from the Pushpa 2 song Kissik, while Kartik stood behind her, capturing the fun moments on his phone. This further fueled rumors about their growing bond.
Adding more excitement to their rumored romance, Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela are set to share the screen for the first time in an upcoming film directed by Anurag Basu. The yet-to-be-titled film has already created a buzz, especially after the release of a teaser that showcased the duo’s chemistry.
In the teaser, Kartik was seen singing Tu Meri Zindagi on stage, sporting a rugged look with a heavy beard and long hair. The video also featured glimpses of romantic moments between Kartik and Sreeleela, giving fans a taste of their fresh on-screen pairing. The film is scheduled for a Diwali 2025 release in theaters.
Neither Kartik Aaryan nor Sreeleela has confirmed or denied the dating rumors. However, with Kartik’s mother’s statement and Sreeleela’s frequent presence around his family, fans are convinced that something is brewing between the two.
Adding to the buzz, a recent event saw actress Nora Fatehi taking a playful dig at Kartik, saying, “Koi hai jisko date nahi kiya?” (Is there anyone he hasn’t dated?). This cheeky remark has only fueled speculation further.
With their on-screen pairing and off-screen camaraderie, fans are eagerly waiting to see if Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela will confirm their relationship. Until then, their rumored romance remains a hot topic in Bollywood circles.
