The 2011 sleeper hit Pyaar Ka Punchnama clocks in 15 years today and apart from giving an iconic monologue that became a cultural phenomenon, it launched six acting careers, including those of Kartik Aaryan, Nushrratt Bharuccha and Divyenndu, and we take a look at what have they been doing since then.
Kartik Aaryan is currently one of the most sought-after leading men in Bollywood, with hits like Luka Chuppi, Pati Patni Aur Woh, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 under his belt. He also gave critically acclaimed performances in Satyaprem Ki Katha and Chandu Champion.
Nushrratt Bharuccha went on to be part of films like Dream Girl, Chhalaang, and Akelli, and headlined the horror franchise Chhorii with its two films released in 2021 and 2025 respectively.
Divyenndu embarked on a solo career after PKP and did films like Chashme Baddoor, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, and Madgaon Express. His breakthrough role came as Munna Tripathi in the web series Mirzapur.
Sonnalli A Sajnani appeared in films like PKP 2, Jai Mummy Di, and Aseq, but found little success. She has a number of unreleased projects in the pipeline.
Raayo S Bakhirta did a few off-beat projects like 706, short film Guzara, and the music video Hoon Main Alag. He ventured into theatre last year with Kaneez: A Musical Love Story.
Ishita Raj continued her career as an actor post PKP with films like Meeruthiya Gangsters, PKP 2, and Wild Wild Punjab, but found little success.
