Last year, in 2024, Kartik Aaryan spoke to one of the media houses about the sudden closure of ‘Dostana 2’. The actor said, ‘That is a very old thing. Many times, many things are not in your control. I was silent then and I am silent on those things even now. I just work 100 percent, but whenever such news comes or any controversy comes, I stay in my shell, I remain calm.’
