Kartik Aaryan has been beating the lockdown blues with a lot of activities while at home. The actor has shared his baking, eating, watching his own films, making rap videos and also doing the dishes updates through his social media. On Friday, the 9th day of the national lockdown, Kartik has shared a rather hilarious update with a photo of himself after using the ageing filter through a popular app.

The Pyaar Ka Punchnama actor looks like a striking old man even with wrinkles on his face. His caption on the post, however, left his fans and his friends from the industry in splits. With his edited photo, the actor wrote, "Ageing Gracefully in Lockdown 👨🏼‍🦳
Lets Remake Baghban now. Casting for Heroines role 👵🏻 Pls send in your entries.".

While his fans couldn't get over his looks and called him 'handsome', actors Arjun Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Bhumi Pednekar poked fun at him through their comments. Arjun Kapoor thought Kartik looked like TV actor Ronit Roy and the latter gave him options to choose from for the role of his leading lady in the supposed Baghban remake. Bhumi Pednekar hilariously trolled at struggling newcomers who look for opportunities.
