In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Kartik said that now, he finds these memes and tweets hilarious. The 32-year-old further elaborated that these things don’t bother him anymore, since he feels that he has somewhat arrived in the industry and it is tough to ignore him now. Adding that a lot of things are happening in his life right now, the “Luka Chuppi” actor said that he is simply going with the flow, trying not to get overwhelmed.
