Mumbai: Dancer-actress Nora Fatehi left netizens divided by taking a subtle dig at host Kartik Aaryan’s relationships at the IIFA 2025.
When IIFA 2025 host Karan Johar asked Nora to choose a perfect partner for Kartik, the latter, mocking at the actor’s infamous affairs, said that there’s hardly any actress left who the actor hasn’t dated yet.
The conversation went as:
When Karan offered Nora first-class tickets to London, she asked, “Am I going with you?”
To this, Karan said that he was talking about Kartik.
Soon, Kartik interrupted, “You don’t have to go with either of us. We’ll give you a ticket, and you can go with anyone you want.”
“You can go with EaseMyTrip if you tell us who you think is the perfect match for Kartik. It could be you as well,” Karan added.
Nora replied, “Koi hai iss industry mein jisko aapne abhi tak date nahi kiya? (Is there anyone in the industry you haven’t dated yet?)”
While Nora’s remark left Kartik blushing and the audience cheering, it left the internet divided.
As the video from the event went viral on Reddit, a section of netizens loved Nora’s response, while others defended Kartik.
One user wrote, “She ate and left no crumbs.”
Another posted, “Nora is funny lol.”
“Everyone’s ex for a reason!!” posted one person.
“Damn Nora (laughing emojis),” read one comment.
Fans of Kartik took it as a compliment.
A user wrote, “Not a roast. It’s the biggest compliment to him to be perceived like this.”
Another added, “Oh, he’d be elated.”

On the work front, Kartik will next be seen in Anurag Basu’s yet-to-be-titled film with Sreeleela.
On the other hand, Nora will be featuring in Abhishek Bachchan-starrer ‘Be Happy.’
The film revolves around a single father going all out to help his daughter win a dance competition. It is slated to release on Amazon Prime Video on March 14.
