"It is a mindset which is going to stay with me," said Kartik Aaryan
Kartik Aaryan, who is currently gearing up for his upcoming film Chandu Champion, opened up about his journey in the film industry, embracing the tag of an outsider and attributing his success to sheer hard work. Reflecting on the persistent outsider label, Kartik told Hindustan Times, “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.
He added, “It is a mindset which is going to stay with me. Till 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)”.
He also admitted that he is aware of the lack of backup for him and therefore, he is focused on working hard on each project he undertakes. “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 said.
