Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan recently shared an amusing anecdote about his ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ co-star Vidya Balan. During a conversation on Shardul Pandit’s podcast ‘Shardulogy’, Kartik revealed that Vidya, known for her role in the previous ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ films, does not appreciate being called “Vidya Ji.”

The exchange happened when the host, Shardul, joked about Kartik having to romance both Vidya and Madhuri Dixit in the film.

He playfully asked, “Which one scared you the most, Vidya Ji or Madhuri Ji?” Kartik quickly corrected him, saying, “Oh, she doesn’t like it, ji,” referring to Vidya’s dislike for the term. He added that he had gotten used to simply calling her Vidya and recommended others do the same.

Kartik, who has built a close bond with both Vidya and Madhuri during filming, shared that working with them felt like living his college life again. He laughed and said, “It was like we became very close friends,” though he remained tight-lipped when asked about the specifics of their conversations.

In other news, Kartik recently shared stunning photos from the top of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa on Instagram, while promoting ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’.
