Kartik Aaryan’s fans were taken aback after rumours linking him to a UK-based woman named Karina Kubiliute began circulating on social media. Although Karina later clarified that she is not dating the Bollywood actor, the buzz sparked widespread curiosity about her identity and background. As fans flooded her Instagram profile to know more, she reportedly saw a surge of over 16,000 new followers in just a single night.
According to a viral Reddit post, Karina Kubiliute had just 1,962 followers on January 5. However, after rumours linking her to Kartik Aaryan began doing the rounds online, her follower count jumped sharply to 16.5k.
Who is Karina Kubiliute?
According to reports, Karina Kubiliute is 17 years old and currently studies at Carlisle College in the UK. Born in June 2008, she marked her 12th birthday in 2020 and turned 16 in June 2024, which means she is set to turn 18 in June 2026.
Reports suggest that Karina has Lithuanian heritage but was raised in and around Carlisle and Wetheral in England. Her mother, Jovita Kubiliene-Thompson, runs multiple hospitality ventures in Cumbria and is locally recognised for organising networking events, particularly for women entrepreneurs. Jovita is married to David Thompson, a British national who is also involved in managing the family’s businesses.
Before enrolling at Carlisle College, Karina studied at Scotby Primary School in Carlisle, where she even won a doughnut design competition during a school fundraising event in 2019.
