In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Kartik Aaryan opened up about living with the ‘outsider’ tag in Bollywood and discussed his upcoming film “Chandu Champion.” Despite his impressive track record, Kartik Aaryan acknowledges that the ‘outsider’ label is likely to stay with him throughout his career, and he has come to terms with it. “It is going to stay with me, and I am okay with it,” he said, reflecting on the industry’s entrenched perceptions and his journey.
When I started my journey in Bollywood, I didn’t know anyone here. And the way it is going on till date, things are the same. Everything’s the same for me. Some Fridays are successful and some are not. But the fact remains that I have never been an insider,” Chandu Champion’s actor adds
“It is a mindset which is going to stay with me. Till date, I believe that any Friday can be a last Friday also. This is the echo that keeps on going in my mind. Ke kahin mera pack up na ho jaaye”.
“Maybe, somewhere down the line, I don’t have any other backup. I don’t have anywhere else to go, and I might not get a second or a third chance. This is the fear that is constant in my head,” he says.
Kartik Aaryan‘s rise to fame has been marked by perseverance and a series of notable performances. However, he candidly shared that his path hasn’t been devoid of challenges. The actor, known for his breakthrough role in “Pyaar Ka Punchnama,” has had to constantly prove his mettle.

The film, based on real-life events, tells a compelling story of resilience and triumph, themes that resonate deeply with Kartik’s own experiences in Bollywood. The trailer has already generated buzz, highlighting his dedication and versatility as an actor.
Reflecting on his career, Kartik Aaryan emphasized the importance of resilience and hard work.
