Kartik Aaryan may be an outsider, but he certainly has the chops to be a superstar. And despite the odds stacked against him to be an actor, the actor reveals he never had a Plan B in place.

“I didn’t have a Plan B. If I didn’t have this career then I don’t know what I would have done. I didn’t have anywhere to go to, I was in a mess, and I was struggling. Back then, if I would have thought of an option then I would have never reached here. I am interested in directing, but nothing apart from that,” he reveals.

Meanwhile, Kartik has developed a huge fan base and has a great connection with the youth. “My relevance comes because of my youth connect, and that youth connect is because I am a film-watching audience. I am in that age bracket where these are the people who watch films,” he opines, adding: “I feel more confident because of the kind of educational background that I have. You are confident when you are educated.”
