Kartik Aaryan made his debut in 2011 with Pyaar Ka Punchnama but it wasn’t until 2018’s Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety that he actually enjoyed his success. In a recent interview, Kartik said that even after he had done a few films, he still did not have a car and would travel for award shows in an autorickshaw. Kartik said that when he ultimately could afford to buy a car, he bought an old car which had a defective door. The Chandu Champion actor said that this is primarily the reason as to why he likes buying cars.

In a chat with Neha Dhupia on the season finale on No Filter Neha Season 6, Kartik said that he had decided that he “would not settle for something less” in his life. “Before Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, there was a lull period where people didn’t know who I was. They didn’t know that I existed,” he said. Kartik shared that by this point, he had been working as a leading hero for a few years and wanted to upgrade his standard of living as he was facing a few problems.

“Like, I didn’t have a car to go to award functions. It used to feel like… yaar, I am taking a rickshaw. It was like this for the first 3-4 films,” he said and recalled his experience with a pre-used car. “Then I bought a third hand car, but the door of the driver’s side of that car was jammed, it wouldn’t open. I would drive that car. Now, the funniest thing used to be that when there was a valet, I would ask him to open the door of the passenger side, I would jump on the other seat and get out of the car, and then I would jump back in the same way,” he recalled with a laugh.
