Kartik Aaryan Was 'Struggling' To Pay Rent After Bollywood Debut, Ended Up Buying The House Years Later

Kartik Aaryan’s journey in Bollywood didn’t begin with overnight success. In fact, the young actor once struggled to even pay rent in Mumbai’s cut-throat cityscape. But destiny clearly had bigger plans for him. Years later, he returned to buy the very house he once couldn’t afford and it was a full-circle moment in every sense.Kartik once recalled his struggling phase and told Mashable India, “I moved into a house where I lived alone but I was struggling a lot then. I didn’t have much money coming in and my films were not working. Pyaar Ka Punchnama had come at that time but that did not work much in my favour. After that Akaash Vaani did not do well, Kaanchi also didn't work. Guest in London also didn't work. Nobody knew much about these films as they

were not working at the box office.”He added, “I was going through a lot of struggle when I lived here but I was very connected to this place. There was a point where I couldn’t pay the rent of this house. It was a very strange time because I was thinking either I bring in some roommates or I start sharing with someone else. Then finally Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety happened. I was paying Rs 2,000 as rent then. At one point, it went up to Rs 4,000.”ALSO READ: 7 Best Kartik Aaryan Films That Make Him A True 'Champion' In Bollywood Earlier this year, the Chandu Champion actor revealed that he ended up buying the same house.
