Why Are Netizens Apologising To Arjun Kapoor After Watching Kartik Aaryan, Ananya Panday's TMMTMTTM Yacht Scene?

Kartik

Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s romantic comedy Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri has finally made its way to OTT, but instead of a warm digital reception, the film has landed in the middle of an online storm. Streaming on Amazon Prime Video on a rental basis, the movie is being widely discussed for a particular yacht sequence that viewers are calling unbearably cringe. The scene has sparked massive trolling, unexpected comparisons, and even apologies to Arjun Kapoor, as netizens slam the performances and dialogues after watching the much-talked-about moment.

Kartik Aaryan-Ananya Panday TROLLED for TMMTMTTM scene

The scene from TMMTMTTM that is going viral is set on a yacht and features Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday in an awkward exchange. It begins with Ananya’s character Rumi telling Kartik’s Ray that girls of the current generation are not interested in "mumma’s boys" like him. What follows has left viewers stunned for all the wrong reasons. Kartik’s character suddenly stands up, removes his barely-there tank top, and begins flaunting his physique as Ananya’s character reacts with visible attraction.

Things take a stranger turn when Kartik’s Ray strings together names that few expected to hear in the same sentence - Malaika Arora, Uorfi Javed, Malala, and Kamala Harris. He claims he could impress all of them using his different qualities like style and empathy, while continuing to show off his shirtless body. The dialogue only escalates in absurdity as he compares his collarbones to pillows. When Ananya’s character remarks that he has climbed his own “chane ka jhaad,” Ray smugly responds, “It is a case of I’m sexy and I know it.”

Netizens apologise to Arjun Kapoor

The sequence has shattered the internet’s cringe meter, with viewers expressing disbelief over the writing and performances. Shockingly, the backlash has resulted in netizens drawing comparisons with Arjun Kapoor - and not in Kartik’s favour!Calling out the randomness of the scene, a user commented, "Hearing the names of Malaika, Malala, Uorfi and Kamala Harris in a same sentence in this notion is making my ears bleed." Another criticised the 'pathetic' acting and wrote, "I need my 2 minutes back".

Yet another stated that Arjun Kapoor is a way better actor than him, backed by yet another user who wrote, "My respect for Arjun Kapoor has increased."

One more said that there seemed to be a competition between Ananya Panday and Kartik Aaryan over who could 'overact the most'. The reaction from netizens has made the scene go viral, for all the wrong reasons.
