Cakes hold a special place in our hearts, don't they? They are the centrepiece of our celebrations; from birthdays to weddings and everything in between. Even Bollywood celebrities aren't immune to the allure of cakes. Despite their love for these sweet sugary treats, many find themselves on strict diets as part of their demanding routines. Recently, Kartik Aaryan was seen gazing affectionately at a slice of chocolate cake shared by his friend on Instagram, who jokingly captioned it, "If anyone looks at you the way Kartik Aaryan looks at cake, don't let that person go." Amused, Kartik reposted the story to his own, writing, "Dekhta hu par khata nahi" (I look, but I don't eat), followed by a laughing emoji.
In the next slide, the Satyaprem Ki Katha actor shared a picture of a plate with the imprint of Flurys, a renowned bakery and confectionery.
