Kartik says his mother didn’t let him buy a car

In the interview, Kartik Aaryan said that whenever he wants to buy something, he must get his mother’s permission first. “My mother handles my money. I don’t know how much money there is in my account or if there is any money or not… I wanted to buy a car on my birthday but mummy refused, saying that there is no money. She said maybe next year or sometime later, but, ‘Abhi nahi le sakte (You cannot buy right now)’. I have no option but to believe what my mother tells him, because I don’t even know where to check how much money I have, I don’t know kaunsa (which) account hai (it is).”

Kartik further added that, “She just doesn’t want me to get spoilt. She thinks I can still get spoilt. I have lived my life where I spent more than my earnings. So, I think she is used to that idea and she doesn’t like it. She has decided isko pocket money mein hi rakho, usme sudhra rahega (She gives me pocket money to keep me in check).”

 

On this his fans reacted, one Instagram user wrote, “Another day of Indian men refusing to grow up!” Another commented, “Good luck to his wife.”

A person also said, “This is shocking! How is this even normal? I mean, this controlled parenting and this refusal to grow up as an adult, both are so problematic and then disguise all under the umbrella of love!”
