    The comment that got Kartik berated

  • In a conversation with Radio City, Kartik recently said, "It often happens that Ayushmann [Khurrana] does films about men with defects while I do films about women with defects," citing examples of his previous movies like Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety.

  • Now, in an interview with TOI, Kartik has claimed that he was simply reading out text from a meme.

    "We were discussing a meme where there were some things written and I reacted on it by saying that I too have stumbled upon it. It was kind of funny to notice that thing. I don't believe in such things. It's not me," he stated.

  • Notably, Kartik's films are often criticized for showcasing women in poor light.

    The women characters in his movies like the Pyaar Ka Punchnama series and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety are often shown to be abusive, selfish, and manipulative.

    More recently, Kartik's film Pati Patni Aur Woh was also slammed for joking about marital rape. The dialog was changed after outrage.

  • Reacting to the controversy over the rape dialog, Kartik had said, "We took responsibility...We realized we shouldn't use that word [rape] at all so we have rectified it and made changes because we don't want to hurt people's sentiments."
