Kartik Aaryan: It wasn’t an easy journey but it was definitely worth it – Times of India

From being a newbie in the city of Mumbai, making his entry in Bollywood to successfully making B-Town his home, Kartik Aaryan has come a long way. The actor in his repertoire of movies includes projects with which he entertained the audience with his signature romantic comedies and then exploring new genres, like his last outing Dhamaka.

For where he has reached today, Kartik credits his years of hard work. He says, “I remember those early days, where I was auditioning before Pyaar Ka Punchnama happened. Those days were tough, but I never lost hope. I never let anything hamper my confidence and my faith in me. With rejection, I used to think it is their fault (filmmakers) and that they are losing out something and not me. Well, that has been my attitude, now call it confidence or over confidence. I have just been like that. I have been confident enough, be it in my success or my failure.”

He further adds, “There was a lot of struggle to find your footing. At that time I was trying to find my footing and somehow wanted to get into the industry. Now finally, when I look back, it does feel like I have reached somewhere and that too on my own merit and hard work. It feels really nice. It wasn’t an easy journey but definitely worth it. I have had my highs and lows. I have learnt a lot from my journey. May be it is because of my failures, that I dealt with, is why I value this position all the more. It definitely didn’t come easy to me.”
