Kartik Aaryan Reflects on Industry Challenges Despite 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' Success

Kartik Aaryan has solidified his position as one of Bollywood's most bankable stars, with his recent film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 achieving blockbuster status at the box office. The horror-comedy garnered over ₹300 crores in India, marking a significant milestone in the actor's career. Adding to his list of accolades, Kartik also received widespread acclaim for his performance in Chandu Champion, making 2024 a standout year for him.

However, despite his success, Kartik remains candid about the struggles he continues to face in the film industry. In a recent interview with GQ, the actor opened up about his journey, acknowledging that industry support remains elusive even after delivering consecutive hits.

“I’m a lone warrior. This house that you see today—I bought it with my own money. I’ve fought like crazy to reach here. And it’s not done yet—I know for a fact that I won’t get any industry support for the road ahead. And I’ve come to terms with the fact that despite delivering a monster hit in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, nobody will rally behind me. I still have to hustle for my next film,” he shared.

Kartik further expressed that while he has encountered supportive individuals along the way, a significant portion of the industry is waiting for him to falter. "Yes—and I feel everyone can sense that. There are some wonderful people I’ve met over my journey, but the main section—and it’s a large section—I will never win over. And I don’t have any desire to win them over. The only people I want to win over are my audience. Because they’re the only ones supporting me. That’s the only validation I need,” he added.

The actor’s unwavering focus on his audience underscores his commitment to delivering meaningful cinema. With his determination and a strong connection to his fans, Kartik Aaryan is proving that resilience and hard work can triumph over industry challenges.
