Mumbai: After facing few initial failures, Kartik Aaryan is now happy to have reached a place where he can call himself a "relatable hero". While Kartik's 2011 debut Pyaar Ka Punchnama went on to become a sleeper hit giving him critical and commercial acclaim, his next two projects, Akaash Vani and Kaanchi bombed at the box office.
But he bounced back with Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2. His last released film was Guest Iin London which got negative reviews. In an interview, Kartik said despite achieving his share of success he is happy that the audience has loved him at a time when he is still trying to create his own niche in the film industry.
"I'm still at the start of my career and don't feel 'I've arrived.' People relate to my characters and see me in a different way. They identify with me and remember the nuances of my characters. I'm happy being the relatable hero," he said.
While he credited director Luv Ranjan for creating this persona of a "loveable relatable hero" Kartik also admitted that living the life of an actor with or without the baggage of an image is not easy.
"Life of an actor is not his or hers, it's everyone's life. Nothing is private, nothing is personal. If you're doing great in terms of work, that's the price you've to give."
Kartik has again collaborated with Luv for his latest "Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety". The romantic comedy marks the duo's fourth collaboration.
