Kartik Aaryan calls himself 'a lone warrior' and says that despite giving hits, he will still have to 'hustle' in the industry

Kartik Aaryan talks about continuing to hustle in his professional life.

Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan, who has delivered a huge hit with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 in 2024, says the path in the industry won't be easy for him, and he will still have to 'hustle.'

In his latest interview with GQ magazine, the 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety' actor spoke about the challenges he faced in the industry initially.

And the actor further went on to say that even after delivering such a huge hit, he is not expecting any support from the film industry for his films.

Kartik said it is a tough road ahead for him, and his success and validation only come from his audience, whereas there are many in the industry who would be waiting for that one wrong move or stumble from him.

"I’m a lone warrior. This house that you see today, I bought it with my own money. I’ve fought like crazy to reach here. And it’s not done yet; I know for a fact that I won’t get any industry support for the road ahead. And I’ve come to terms with the fact that despite delivering a monster hit in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, nobody will rally behind me. I still have to hustle for my next film."

Kartik also said that there is a huge section in the industry who he will never be able to win over. "I feel everyone can sense that. There are some wonderful people I’ve met over my journey, but the main section—and it’s a large section—I will never win over. And I don’t have any desire to win them over. The only people I want to win over are my audience. Because they’re the only ones supporting me. That’s the only validation I need," he added.
