The actor was born Kartik Tiwari in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, to a doctor couple. His father is a paediatrician and his mother a gynaecologist. He pursued an engineering degree in biotechnology at Navi Mumbai's DY Patil College of Engineering, at the same time doing modelling assignments and secretly harbouring ambitions for a career in films.

Kartik says "Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety" and "Luka Chuppi" gave him validation as an actor. "Characters in film like 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety' and 'Luka Chuppi' actually changed my life. I played the role of a news reporter in 'Luka Chuppi', and that film gave me validation as an actor. Because of that, I got many options to do the kind of roles I wanted to since the beginning. I am looking forward to do character-driven roles."

Meanwhile on work front, Kartik will next be seen in Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal sequel with Sara Ali Khan, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 alongside Kiara Advani, and Dostana 2 with Janhvi Kapoor and Lakshya.
