At the latest edition of SCREEN Live held in Mumbai, Kartik Aaryan spoke about the attack on Saif Ali Khan at his residence earlier today.

“It is scary, it is sad. This puts everyone in a very vulnerable state. This incident has shocked everyone. I hope he is doing well,” said Kartik, adding, “I will pray for him and his family. I wish him a speedy recovery.”

At the event, Kartik Aaryan also delved into the overarching issue of paparazzi culture. He said, “In today’s scenario, it is not like we can hide from paparazzi. They know where we are going, and what we are doing. In some cases, it does get quite extreme, but it is important we understand that they are doing it for a living. In fact, it is a symbiotic relationship between paparazzi, media, and the actors.” In a rather defeated note, the actor said, “There is no solution for it per se.”

Hoping there can be a common ground when it comes to understanding the importance of privacy, Kartik Aaryan said, “All of this is fine till it doesn’t compromise the safety of people. Yes, knowing our every whereabout is dangerous, but there is a very distinct line between what we want to share, and what we want to keep private. If that privacy is disturbed, then it is shocking. But then it gets you thinking… we don’t have answers.”
