Actors Ananya Panday and Kartik Aaryan are currently in Croatia shooting for their upcoming romantic drama Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. However, recent leaked images of their new looks from the film have gone viral on Reddit—and fan reactions are far from enthusiastic.

Tanned Transformations and Bold Hairstyles Raise Eyebrows

In the viral pictures, both actors appear significantly tanned. Ananya sports voluminous hair with golden and light brown highlights, a stark contrast from her look in the film’s initial announcement. Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan has undergone a dramatic hair transformation. His hairstyle appears to be a fade cut with spiky hair on top, giving the illusion of a mohawk from certain angles.

Though Kartik is known for experimenting with his on-screen appearances, fans aren’t thrilled this time. Many questioned whether the tanned appearance was intentional for the roles or simply due to poor lighting. Either way, netizens have been quick to share their thoughts.

Reddit Reactions: Harsh and Unfiltered

The Reddit community didn’t hold back. Comments ranged from humorous to harsh. One user wrote, “It is fake tan,” while another joked, “Kartik is giving Jethalal hairstyle energy .” A particularly sharp comment read, “Kartik Aaryan looks like a 50-year-old’s idea of what a youngster looks like .”

Ananya’s look also drew comparisons. Multiple users commented on her “Deepikafied” appearance, referencing actress Deepika Padukone. Remarks like, “Ananya Panday looks so Deepikafied,” and “Ananya Patani?” flooded the thread.
