Kartik Aaryan
Life is tough in Mumbai when you are alone.
In Gwalior, where I lived initially, I never thought much about fashion. I started understanding fashion only when I moved to Delhi.
I've been subtle in my taste. It's all about solid colours - mostly blue, white, and black. Also, I believe one should always feel comfortable in what they wear. Because when they're not, their body language is always a big give-away.
I'm a fan of Adidas Originals. I love their Stan Smith collection.
I am living my dream, basically.
I really respect the kind of compliments and appreciation I am getting for my work in 'Sonu Ke Titu Ke Sweety,' and I will make sure that I will not disappoint my audience in future.
I was offered a lot of romantic and comedy films.
'PKP' was a huge success, and even the sequel did well. I became very choosy after that.
It does happen sometimes that you aren't able to understand whether you should go for a particular film or not, and you are left with only one or two choices.
My characters in both 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' films were so relatable that every other guy connects with me.
It feels great to have an equally huge fan following of guys and girls.
If you have talent, then success will come to you.
Ever since I entered this industry, I have always wanted to do romantic films.
I don't fear being judged as a misogynist.
Would I do another 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety?' I'd do it as many times as Luv Ranjan wants me to.
More than my own happiness, it's my mother's happiness that makes me happy.
If I have to do 40 films like 'Punchnama,' I will take it up as long as I enjoy it.
There is always going to be someone who is not going to be happy with me and talk or gossip about me, no matter what I do.
Good scripts, which are apt for me, eventually come to me.
Maybe girls think that I can never be in a relationship and I can only give advice to other men to not fall in love or get committed to a girl. But that's not true.
I get so many messages from people seeking advice to mend their relationship.
I am a reflection of my mother.
A lot of my friends ask me for advice.
All my characters have been relatable.
People think that I have figured it all out, at a young age, about love.
For 'Guest Iin London,' I got a lot of appreciation.
Personally, I'm a fan of comedy movies that I can watch with my friends and family.
In the beginning of our career, we want to make an identity, and I am happy that people think I have good comic timing, and they are casting me in films.
I have no problem in doing comedy, as I am happily consolidating my image of a comic actor.
I think comedy is a genre that has a lot of potential. It is a very content-driven film genre.
I have learnt to deal with the box office result. Whatever happened to any film, thankfully, people always appreciated my performance.
Since in the end, as an actor, I cannot do much apart from giving my best on camera, I won't let myself be affected by the business of cinema.
There are films that look very interesting when on paper, but things change while shooting. At times, things changed during post-production, and I see no reason to blame anything on anyone. It is a collaborative effort. If it failed, we should face it.
Since two of my films of 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' series worked, people think I am good in such roles.
After 'King of Monologues,' now I'm loving the term 'Bromantic Hero.'
It is always good to perform with an actor who is good and inspires you to do better.
Shah Rukh Khan is an institution in himself. Like me, there are millions who adore and worship the Badshah of Bollywood. I've been a huge fan of him even before I decided to become an actor.
'Baazigar' was the movie which initiated my drift towards acting.
If I like a script, I will definitely pick films of different genres, but I won't do something just for the sake of it.
I've faced a lot of struggle and been a victim of backstabbing.
When you know someone for four-five years, you tend to know everything about the person. You tend to know when the other person is reacting to a certain situation, how the other person would react in a situation.
My parents wanted me to get a degree.
I always celebrate festivals - whether it's Holi or Diwali.
Nothing tastes like success.
While I am lucky to be associated with people who believe in content, all that matters is your talent and box-office results.
I never wanted to be an engineer.
I am an ardent cricket fan, and I have seen the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium matches on TV.
As a youngster, I really enjoyed watching cricket.
