Friday figures se detach hona bahut zaruri hai, says Kartik Aaryan

While box office numbers are extremely crucial, and Kartik Aaryan has enjoyed several box office successes, he believes that actors should learn to have a certain sense of detachment from the pressure that comes with the Friday performance of a film.

Addressing how he copes with industry demands, the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 actor said, “I think it’s crucial to know the reality. Everything is temporary in the industry, whether it is success or failure. Woh Friday se detach hona bahut zaruri hai. You must not attach yourself to opening-day figures. When you know that, aap, apne aap mein successful ho jate ho.”Kartik says that he hasn’t let fame entirely change the way he likes living his life.

“Main jo bhi pehle karna chahta tha, woh sab kuch ab bhi kar raha hoon. Mere jo shauk thay maine pure kar liye hain, and I am still enjoying them. I still go to malls and enjoy roadside food. I don’t let fame stop me from enjoying the simple pleasures of life,” he says.

Kartik, who spent considerable time in the City of Nawabs (Lucknow) while shooting Pati Patni Aur Woh, said he was overjoyed to return. “I shot Pati Patni Aur Woh here, and it was very special,” he recalled. “When I stayed for a long shoot, I explored the city in depth. Now that I am back, I see many changes. The airport changed, the roads look so different, and there is so much development — I was pleasantly surprised.”He mentioned that Lucknow holds a personal connection for him. “Lucknow is a city where our Hindi films are widely loved across UP,” he said, adding with a smile, “Yaha aakar muskurahat khud hi aa jati hai!”-With inputs by Manas Mishra
