One of the most sought after stars of Bollywood, Kartik Aaryan made his debut with 2011 film 'Pyar Ka Punchnama' which has become a cult movie over years. However, there was significant gap between Kartik's first movie and the time when he really made it as a mainstream Bollywood actor. Now that he has completed around 11 years in the industry, Kartik shares what he has learned over years.

The actor told Pinkvilla, "I was in college when I did Pyaar Ka Punchnama. I was totally raw, and I was trying to figure out how the industry functions. I understood there is more to films than acting - and that I figured out much later in life. It took me 4-5 years to get noticed, people didn't even know my name. They used to call me different names like 'guy who says monologues' and all. So I consider Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety my launch film, which gave me the entry as a hero."

Talking about the biggest lessons he has learned, Kartik said, "Then things just went on, with back-to-back project. It has been a learning process. But it is more like a human management thing also in this industry where you need to be understanding as well - about what people are trying to convey. And what I've understood in all these years is that It's not rocket science, It's more of commonsense."
