Wasn't sure if I'd make it to film set: Kartik Aaryan

From battling self-doubt to trying to convince producers that he was a bankable actor, Kartik Aaryan believes he has come a long way in his Bollywood career.

Kartik says, for the longest time, he was identified as the "Punchnama boy" after his debut film.

"I wasn't a household name. I was known by my character's name or the guy who spoke very fast. I was also known as the 'monologue guy' (after his popular monologues in the 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' series). But they weren't able to register 'Kartik' in their minds."
"'Sonu' brought me in the commercial actor zone, everyone's perspective changed after that. The biggest validation has come from my last film, 'Luka Chuppi'. To deliver a hit after the success of 'Sonu...' was a big deal for me."
"The offers haven't stopped coming since 'Luka Chuppi'. Earlier whatever I was offered, I had to choose from that. Today, there are so many options that I feel like doing everything."
