Kartik Aaryan is one of the most popular and sought after actors in Bollywood right now. However, before he found success as a mainstream star with the film 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety', Kartik had worked for around 7 years in indie projects and now he enjoys a dedicated fanbase. In a recent media interaction, the actor opened up about what stardom means to him and credited all his success to his fans and followers.

The actor stated, “It definitely wasn’t an overnight thing, but I think after Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, that change started coming in, when people started recognising and calling me by my name. I am very grateful for the position I have attained in my life and career today, and it is my audience and fans who have to be credited for that.”

Kartik continued, "Stardom for me, till date, has only meant love from my fans. So when the love grows, I only feel more and more motivated to push my boundaries further and work harder for them, as it is to them that I owe my success. Plus, stardom is a dynamic concept which always comes and goes, but it is my family that always helps me stay grounded and remember my roots, so my focus is always on my craft and on working towards being the best there."

On the work front, Kartik was last seen in the horror comedy 'Bhool Bhulaiya 2' and his upcoming projects include 'Shehzada', 'Captain India' and 'Freddy'.
