Kartik Aaryan Visits Ujjain Temple With Parents After National Award Win

Actor Kartik Aaryan visited the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, with his parents on Tuesday. The visit comes days after he won his first National Film Award.

Photographs from the temple show Aaryan in a simple white kurta-pajama, holding his mother's hand as they walked through the premises. Security personnel surrounded the actor as devotees and fans gathered to catch a glimpse of him.

First National Award for the Actor

The National Film Awards ceremony for the 72nd edition was held recently in New Delhi. While the full list of winners was announced, Aaryan's win has been widely discussed among his fan base.

Sources close to the actor said the temple visit was a personal affair, planned by his family to offer thanks. Aaryan has not yet made any public statement about the award or the visit.

Telugu cinema dominated this year's National Film Awards, winning in nine categories across acting, direction, and technical fields. This has sparked conversations in the industry about regional cinema's growing footprint at national honours.

Tamil star Suriya congratulated all winners, praising their pursuit of excellence. Political leaders from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, including Naidu and Jagan, have also lauded Telugu cinema's performance at the awards.

Kartik Aaryan's win has been seen as a milestone in his career, which began with small-budget films before he moved to larger commercial projects. He has not confirmed what his next project will be.

What to Watch
