Kartik Aaryan has jumped on the bandwagon of memes recreating the scandalous Coldplay kiss cam video, that broke the internet last week. During the Boston concert of Coldplay's ongoing world tour Music of the Spheres on July 16, the concert camera showed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company's HR chief Kristin Cabot hugging each other as it was discovered that the two of them are having an extramarital affair. A couple of days after the shocking incident, Andy Byron had to tender his resignation.

The clip featured the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 star secretly eating a bar of chocolate with a running text that read, "Fitness freak, Kartik Aaryan, caught cheating on his diet, at the Coldplay concert last night." As soon as Kartik is "caught on camera", he throws away the chocolate and starts exercising with his dumbbells. He captioned the clip as, "Almost got Fired."
