Well, the Bollywood gossip mills are running overtime as we step into 2026. This time, the gossip mills have put the spotlight on Kartik Aaryan, who is touted as the heartthrob of the industry. While his professional life has seen some recent changes with the release of his film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, it is his personal life that has become the talking point on the internet presently. Digital sleuths have linked him to a mystery girl named Karina Kubiliute, leading to speculation on various social media platforms like Reddit and Instagram.

How the Rumours Started in Goa

The rumors ignited when Kartik Aaryan posted a serene picture from his vacation to Goa. He seemed to be enjoying a sunset on the beach, looking relaxed. However, the eagle eyed fans noticed that his post showed uncanny similarities with the photos shared by Karina Kubiliute.

The internet detectives pointed out that the beach beds, the exact angle of the sea, the towel patterns, and even a volleyball court in the background of both sets of photos were almost similar. These snapshots sparked suspicion that the two were on vacation together. Reports added that Kartik and Karina were following each other at this point in time on Instagram, with Kartik allegedly unfollowing her once the dating rumors began to gain momentum.

Karina Kubiliute is a Lithuanian footballer

As the name Karina Kubiliute trended online, fans were eager to learn more about the woman who caught the actor’s attention. Karina is not an Indian national but reportedly is a European young woman based in the United Kingdom. She has Lithuanian roots and was raised in the Carlisle area.

Various reports claim that she studied at Carlisle College and was into cheerleading and sporting activities. Her age became the talking point when social media users discovered some of her older updates, which indicated that she was probably 17 or 18 years old. That stirred an online debate over the wide age difference between the 35-year-old actor and the UK-based student.

Karina Kubiliute Breaks Her Silence

While the internet was busy speculating about the secret romance, the mystery girl herself decided to set the record straight. In some surprising twist of events, Karina reacted to the viral claims.

In a comment on a social media post which declared her his new girlfriend, Karina had written directly: “I’m not his gffff!!!” Her blunt denial gave a new light to the situation, which was that the matching vacation photos might have been a coincidence, or maybe the nature of their acquaintance has been misjudged by the public.

Kartik Aaryan’s Current Relationship Status

Despite being linked up with almost all his co-stars on and off, Kartik Aaryan has time and again claimed to be single. The actor has been calling himself unlucky in love in recent interviews, pointing to his tight schedule for being all alone.

His last on-screen appearance was with Ananya Panday, and although their off-screen friendship seems strong and full of mutual respect, Kartik has not confirmed any romantic relationship with anyone in 2026. As of now, it looks like the actor is concentrating on his coming projects, which include the Dharma Productions movie Naagzilla, in which he is reportedly going to play a shape-shifting serpent.
