As his film `Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2` releases on Friday, Kartik Aaryan, who replaced Akshay Kumar in the sequel of the 2007 psychological horror comedy, compared the `Guru` actress Aishawarya Rai Bachchan to American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande.

Kartik was speaking with YouTuber and comic artiste Tanmay Bhat during the promotions of `Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2` where he was shown a picture of Aishwarya Rai with her hair tied up in a high ponytail.

Looking at the picture Tanmay said, "Oh right, she does look like Ariana Grande," to which, Kartik replied, "Rather, Ariana looks like Aishwarya Rai."

I love how Kartik Aryan said Aishwarya Rai is not looking like Ariana rather Ariana looking like Aishwarya. #AishwaryaRaiBachchan pic.twitter.com/LD2zFtLaAt
