Watch: Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal Gets A Bollywood Twist – Thanks To Kartik Aaryan’s Comic Genius
Kartik Aaryan hilariously recreated the viral Coldplay kiss cam moment with a fitness twist, leaving fans in splits.
The internet had a field day after Andy Byron’s kiss cam scandal at the Coldplay concert. And now, Kartik Aaryan has jumped in with his own hilarious spin on it. The Bollywood actor recreated the much-talked-about video featuring former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot, who grabbed eyeballs after their awkward kiss cam moment went viral. On Wednesday, Kartik posted a comical twist to the scandal on Instagram with the caption, “Almost got fired.”
Check out Kartik Aaryan’s Instagram post below:
In the video, Kartik Aaryan can be seen munching on a chocolate bar at a concert when he suddenly notices the camera zooming in on him. What happens next? He quickly ditches the chocolate, ducks out of frame, and hilariously lifts dumbbells to do bicep curls instead.
The text on the video read, “Fitness freak Kartik Aaryan caught cheating on his diet at the Coldplay concert last night.”
Fans couldn’t get enough of it. Flooding the comments section, users called it “the best recreation ever.” One said, “Creativity peaked,” while another gushed, “Only you could have recreated this.” Comments like “How cute!” and “You truly know the best ideas to create content” filled the thread, proving Kartik Aaryan’s knack for turning trending moments into viral gold.
The actor’s obsession with fitness isn’t just for laughs – he went through a major transformation for ‘Chandu Champion’, where he played India’s first Paralympic gold medallist, Murlikant Petkar. Directed by Kabir Khan, the film earned praise from critics but didn’t quite hit the mark at the box office, collecting Rs 87.25 crore globally.
The original Coldplay kiss cam drama unfolded on July 16, 2025, during their Music of the Spheres tour at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts. When the stadium’s camera landed on Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, both reacted awkwardly – Andy ducked, Kristin turned away. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin added fuel to the fire with his on-stage quip: “Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy.” The aftermath? Andy Byron resigned as CEO.
Coming back to Kartik Aaryan, he will next be seen in Anurag Basu’s untitled musical romantic drama opposite Sreeleela. Though originally planned for a Diwali 2025 release, one pending shoot schedule has delayed its premiere.
He also has Karan Johar’s ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’ lined up, which reunites him with his ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’ co-star Ananya Panday.
