He really was the poster boy for all outsiders… for he had smashed the walls of intolerance and nepotism in Bollywood to barge with swagger, storming unceremoniously into the elite league earlier just reserved for star kids. As when kissed by the Bollywood devi of luck, the aftermath is indeed glorious. Producers started queuing up outside his home as he leafed through umpteen number of scripts with tailor made roles. Endorsements piled up and soon, he was earning mega bucks. Surfing the pyaar ka punchnama of success, he was now the changeling star who blew all the tainted Bollywood bigoted unwritten rules about ‘no berth for outsiders’ into smithereens. He is Kartik Aaryan, the actor who changed the game plan of Bollywood.

After struggling for three years in Bollywood facing rejection and closed doors during which he completed his engineering degree too, Kartik finally nailed it in his debut film Pyaar Ka Punchnama and the reason was his monologue dialogue that went on for minutes raving about the fickleness of girls. …Perhaps this dialogue would haunt him in these given trying circumstances? Anyway, Pyaar ka Punchnama 2 and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety sealed his position in Bollywood, Luka Chupi and Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 became superlative hits and were the cherries on his cake, and he was hailed as the new muqaddar ka sikandar in Tinsel Town. Big banner films from Dharma Production to Eros Now started courting him relentlessly until he gave his nod to their films.
