Kartik Aaryan talks about lack of support in Bollywood in a recent interview

Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan has always made his way into the limelight through sheer talent, hard work, and determination. But recently, in an interview, Aaryan opened up about the unique struggles he faces, particularly the lack of a "support system" within the film industry.

Kartik shared a candid insight into his journey, highlighting the fact that he does not have a spokesperson, family, or even close connections to advocate for him in the highly competitive world of Bollywood.

"I don’t have my uncle, or my dad, or my sister, or my girlfriend spreading positivity about me in the articles or in the industry," Aaryan admitted while talking to Filmfare.

He pointed out that the news surrounding him often comes from external sources, and it's not always the most positive or encouraging. However, he made it clear that he doesn't let these factors define his worth.

This statement reflects Aaryan's resilience, as he has managed to build a successful career without relying on family connections or industry backing. His rise to stardom is a testament to his skills, with his breakout roles in films like Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety earning him recognition and adoration from fans and critics alike.

Aaryan also commented on the envy some people may have when someone like him, who has no prominent family ties in Bollywood, makes it on their own.

He noted, “There are some who get irked by the fact that people make it on their own. And they try to make stories about that person a lot more.” This is a clear reference to the way narratives are often spun about individuals who don't follow the traditional route of relying on family influence.

Kartik also mentioned about his Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 co-star Vidya Balan and howshe left an impact on him while working. He mentioned, "Her ability to create a warm, joyful atmosphere on set was remarkable. Everyone felt at ease around her. Working with her on Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was an incredible experience; it felt like we were college friends, sharing a carefree and fun connection. She truly left a lasting impression on me."
