Kartik Aaryan gears up for the release of Chandu Champion, directed by Kabir Khan. Kartik remains vocal about his journey, gracefully embracing the tag of an ‘outsider’ and attributing his success to sheer hard work.
Outsider Label
Kartik Aaryan, in his recent interview, referred to the ‘outsider label’. He claims he has never been an insider in the Bollywood industry.
Kartik said, “It is what it is.” “When I started my journey in Bollywood, I didn’t know anyone here. And the way it is going on to 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,” Kartik added
‘Fear of career coming to end’
Recognising that he came from outside the industry, he acknowledged that he still fears his career will end abruptly.
He continued, “It is a mindset which is going to stay with me. To 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 (I hope it’s not a pack up for my career)”.
‘Open Narrative’
With a fair share of hits and misses at the box office, Kartik’s Bollywood career has been an open narrative that everyone has been able to witness, from highs to lows. He acknowledged that he is aware of his lack of “backup,” which is why he is committed to giving every project he takes his all.
“Maybe, somewhere down the line, I (know that 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 rued.
